I am new to python and trying to use git commands in python script. The requirement is that I need to call some git commands like git clean and git reset commands in my python script. I need to use subprocess for this as I can't use any external libraries like GitPython.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks.

you can use it like below 

import shlex
import subprocess 

command= "git clean -df" # you can paste any command here
comm=shlex.split(command) # This will convert the command into list format

proc=Popen(comm) # This will execute your command

for more detailed information , refer here
