Advanced Repo Usage

And of course, there is much more you can do with this type, most of the following will be explained in greater detail in specific tutorials. Don't worry if you don't understand some of these examples right away, as they may require a thorough understanding ofgits inner workings.

You can easily access configuration information for a remote by accessing options as if theywhere attributes. The modification of remote configuration is more explicit though.

Please note that the script must be executable (i.e. `chomd +x script.sh`). `StrictHostKeyChecking=no` is used to avoid prompts asking to save the hosts key to `~/.ssh/known_hosts`, which happens in case you run this as daemon.

You might also have a look at `Git.update_environment(...)` in case you want to setup a changed environment more permanently.

GitDB

The GitDB is a pure-python implementation of the git object database. It is the default database to use in GitPython 0.3.Its uses less memory when handling huge files, but will be 2 to 5 times slower when extracting large quantitiessmall of objects from densely packed repositories::

GitCmdObjectDB

The git command database uses persistent git-cat-file instances to read repository information. These operate very fast under all conditions, but will consume additional memory for the process itself. When extracting large files, memory usage will be much higher thanthe one of the``GitDB``::
