Hello Nathania,

I made a git command in python, http://goo.gl/JUHJjc would you like to have some comments on it, I am going to do a version using gitPython API which i discovered after I was all done with the one using subprocess, however still debating which approach is better !

The link doesn't work anymore, could you please provide another one?
