GitPython⚑

• New: Create a branch.

  new_branch = repo.create_head('new_branch')
  assert repo.active_branch != new_branch # It's not checked out yet
  repo.head.reference = new_branch
  assert not repo.head.is_detached
  

• New: Get the latest commit of a repository.

  repo.head.object.hexsha
  

Python Snippets⚑

• New: Copy a directory.

  import shutil
  
  shutil.copytree('bar', 'foo')
  

• Correction: Use fixture to change the working directory of a test.

  The previous code didn't work, instead use the next fixture:

  @pytest.fixture(name="change_test_dir")
  def change_test_dir_(request: SubRequest) -> Any:
      os.chdir(request.fspath.dirname)
      yield
      os.chdir(request.config.invocation_dir)
