am working on a code which I would like to retrieve the commits from a repository on github. Am not entirely sure how to do such a thing, I got git-python but most the api's are for opening a local git repository on the same file system. 
Can someone advice? 
regards,
I really advise using only the command line git, git-python its used for macros or complicated things, not just for pulling, pushing or cloning :)
