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="[email protected]"
)
def __init__(api_client: GitApi)
Initializes a new Git handler instance.

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.Example:
