how to access remote upstream master branch tree

[greenpau]

How do I access remote upstream branch tree?

local_active_branch_tree = self.repo.heads[str(self.repo.active_branch)].commit.tree;
local_master_branch_tree = self.repo.heads.master.commit.tree;
remote_upstream_master_branch_tree = ???

the doc are silent about it. http://gitpython.readthedocs.org/en/stable/reference.html#module-git.remote

class git.remote.FetchInfo(ref, flags, note='', old_commit=None, remote_ref_path=None)

For questions, please consider using stackoverflow instead, suitable answers are more likely there and will be made much faster. Just be sure to set the gitpython tag.

However, to answer your question explicitly, I believe that tracking_branch() would be what you are looking for.

import git
repo = git.Repo()

local_active_branch_tree = repo.active_branch.commit.tree
local_master_branch_tree = repo.heads.master.commit.tree
remote_upstream_master_branch_tree = repo.heads.master.tracking_branch().commit_tree

@Byron , thank you for the answer!

quick correction to the above:

remote_upstream_master_branch_tree = repo.heads.master.tracking_branch().commit.tree

Thanks a lot. To get the remote branch of each local branch , It works.

heads = repo.heads
for head in repo.heads:
     if str(getattr(repo.heads,str(head)).tracking_branch()) == "origin/master":
          print("yes")
     print(head," ",str(head),"  ",getattr(repo.heads,str(head)).tracking_branch())
