If I run git push origin master, it asks for my Github username and password. How would I put these in with call() like this call(['git', 'push', 'origin', 'master'])? When I look at the git-push man page, it says nothing about these being arguments.

  • They aren't. You're likely going to have to use `Popen` and the `PIPE` inputs to stdin/stdout, but I'm not sure if the exact method so I'll leave it to someone else to answer. – aruisdante Mar 10 '14 at 01:29

  • @aruisdante: It is likely that the password is read from the terminal directly i.e., `PIPE` won't work. See [Why not just use a pipe (popen())?](http://pexpect.readthedocs.org/en/latest/FAQ.html#whynotpipe) – jfs Mar 10 '14 at 01:46

I switched the protocol of my repo to ssh from https. This removes the need to enter a password
