Git

class Git()

Provides Git operations within a Sandbox.

Example:

# Clone a repository
sandbox.git.clone(
    url="https://github.com/user/repo.git",
    path="workspace/repo"
)

# Check repository status
status = sandbox.git.status("workspace/repo")
print(f"Modified files: {status.modified}")

# Stage and commit changes
sandbox.git.add("workspace/repo", ["file.txt"])
sandbox.git.commit(
    path="workspace/repo",
    message="Update file",
    author="John Doe",
    email="john@example.com"
)

Git.init

def __init__(api_client: GitApi)

Initializes a new Git handler instance.

Arguments:

api_client GitApi - API client for Sandbox Git operations.

Git.add

@intercept_errors(message_prefix="Failed to add files: ")
@with_instrumentation()
def add(path: str,
        files: list[str],
        request_timeout: float | None = None) -> None

Stages the specified files for the next commit, similar to running 'git add' on the command line.

Arguments:

path str - Path to the Git repository root. Relative paths are resolved based on the sandbox working directory.
files list[str] - List of file paths or directories to stage, relative to the repository root.
request_timeout float | None - Optional client-side request timeout in seconds. Client-side only. It bounds how long the SDK waits for the HTTP response and does not cancel the operation on the server. Positive values under 1 second are rounded up to 1 second; 0 disables the client-side timeout and negative values are rejected.

Example:

# Stage a single file
sandbox.git.add("workspace/repo", ["file.txt"])

# Stage multiple files
sandbox.git.add("workspace/repo", [
    "src/main.py",
    "tests/test_main.py",
