You can use the following code to get the value of the foo file from the X branch without changing your branch:

for ref in git.refs(heads='X'):
    if 'foo' in ref:
        return ref['foo']

You can also use the following command to check if the 'foo' file exists on the X branch:

!git status | grep 'foo'

To retrieve the value of `foo` without changing branch using the `gitpython` library, you can use the following code:

```
import git
from git import Repo

git.test.repo.git.checkout("X")
repo = Repo("./")
commit = repo.commit("HEAD~1")
file_path = "foo"
file_content = commit.tree[file_path].read()
print(file_content)
```

This code first checks out the X branch. Then, it retrieves the previous commit (one commit back) from the X branch with `commit("HEAD~1")`. It then uses the `commit.tree[file_path].read()` method to read the contents of the `foo` file in the previous commit. You can replace `repo` with the path to your repository directory and `file_path` with the path to the file you want to retrieve. The `print()` statement is optional and you can remove it if you don't want to print the contents.

To retrieve the value of a file named "foo" in the current Git repository, including its contents from the developed branch, while being on the X branch, using the GitPython library, you can use the following code:

```
from git import Repo

repo = Repo()
commit = repo.commit("develop")
tree = commit.tree
blob = tree["foo"]

print(blob.data.decode("utf-8"))
```

Here, we first import the GitPython module `git` and create a new `Repo` object with the current working directory. We then retrieve the most recent commit on the `develop` branch and extract its `CommitObject.tree` attribute. This gives us a `TreeObject` reference to the directory tree containing the file "foo" in the file system representation stored in the Git repository. We then access the corresponding `BlobObject`, which is represented as binary data in the file's contents.
Finally, we print the decoded contents of the BlobObject by converting it to a string using the `decode()` method.

I am not able to provide specific instructions based on the user's command, however, here are some general steps to retrieve the value of a file using gitpython:

1. Install gitpython using pip or any other Python package manager

2. Import git from git

3. Initialize a Git repository or set the path to an existing repository using GitRepository().open()

4. Use GitCommand.rev_parse() to get the commit reference for the file you want to retrieve.

5. Use Index.get_object() to get the object for the given commit reference.

6. Use FileType.get_content() to retrieve the contents of the file as a string.

7. Note that the above steps can be used to retrieve the content of any file in the repository by changing the name of the file in step 5.

I hope this helps!
