git-python
combination and simplification of some useful git commands
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No. The package is abandoned (last commit 2020-01-08), has unclear licensing, distributes via outdated .egg format, and offers only marginal convenience over native git commands. For any production or maintained codebase, use git directly or a modern, actively maintained wrapper instead.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Package is distributed as a .egg file, which requires setuptools and may have compatibility issues with modern Python environments.
- Python version support is unspecified.
- High install friction due to egg-based distribution.

Alternatives
Verify before relying
pip install git-python==1.1.1
After installation, use the `gp` command:
gp init
gp addc -m "commit message"
gp pushc addt -t "tag-name"- Whether the `gp` command is properly registered in PATH after installation via egg distribution
- Compatibility with Python versions beyond 3.8 (support unspecified in metadata)
- Whether this package has any undeclared dependencies on system git or other tools
What it is and what it does
git-python is a thin wrapper around common git operations, exposing them through a `gp` command-line tool with abbreviated syntax. It bundles together operations like repository initialization, staged commits, and tag-based pushes into single commands to reduce typing and mental overhead for repetitive workflows.
The package has been unmaintained since 2020-01-08 and shows minimal adoption (2 stars). It offers no runtime dependencies but distributes as a .egg file, which creates friction with modern Python packaging practices. The unclear license status and abandoned maintenance posture make it a poor choice for production or long-term projects.
Use it for
- Quick repository initialization and setup in local development workflows where you want to avoid typing full git commands
- Automating repetitive commit-and-tag sequences in scripts that need abbreviated syntax
- Educational projects or personal scripts where you want a simplified git interface for learning or prototyping
