Is it possible to push to Gitlab with the Python API?

Question

I am just messing around, but I have a blank project in Gitlab. I have a Python script (well, ipython notebook). I would like the Python script to simply push any files in "C:/users/files" to the Gitlab project.

I cannot find any instruction on how to do this from the API webpage here - https://python-gitlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/gl_objects/commits.html.

It looks to me like it is impossible to do this, but surely it is.

Why not just execute bash commands from python? Something like cd C:/Users/files && git pull origin master && git add * && git commit -m "whatever" && git push origin master — Javier Lopez Tomas

@JavierLópezTomás good idea; but ideally I'd like it to run in windows and Linux if possible. — Simon Kiely

A workaround would be a conditional depending on the OS stackoverflow.com/questions/1854/what-os-am-i-running-on — Javier Lopez Tomas

Push is not possible with API but only possible with Git protocol. You can use GitPython (depends on git as it runs git under the hood) or dulwich (doesn't depends on git as it implements Git protocol in Python).
