Cloning/downloading files via a python script

Question

I was wondering how to clone/download a github file or files via a python script. I cant seem to figure out how to

Answer 1

In addition to Maurice Meyer's method, you can do as follows:

In order to clone an entire git repository, you would use the following command line script:

git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-REPOSITORY

Taking that into account, you could have a python script which would execute this command, by using the subprocess library, such as:

import subprocess
subprocess.run(["git", "clone", "https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-REPOSITORY"])
