I am trying to work with github in the jupyter notebook in sage 7.3 on a debian linux machine and did:
%%sh
sage -sh
pip install --upgrade gitpython
GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE='/usr/bin/git'
Then:
import git
git_url = 'https://github.com/schymans/summa.git'
repo_dir = 'summa_code'
try:
repo = git.Repo.clone_from(git_url, repo_dir)
except Exception, e:
However, whenever I use any git_url with https, I get the error message fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'
On my system-wide python, this works without problems. Did anyone experience similar problems before? Thanks for your help already!
