Execute function returns stderr for command line file read.

The command gh auth login --with-token<ghKeysconfig in the terminal works fine.

Here, ghKeysconfig is the file.

But when I use my python script with GitPython as follows

gLocal = git.Git("ansible")
authenticate_gh = gLocal.execute(["gh","auth","login","--with-token","<ghKeysconfig"])

It shows this error -

Cmd('gh') failed due to: exit code(1)
  cmdline: gh auth login --with-token <ghKeysconfig
  stderr: 'accepts 0 arg(s), received 1'

It's not easly possible to pass standard input, i.e. the <ghKeysconfig part via the git command in GitPython.

Instead I recommend using a standard Popen call to wire up standard input to pass the contents of the token file to the gh process.

Popen did not work as well -

process = subprocess.Popen(["gh","auth","login","--with-token","<ghKeysconfig"], stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE, cwd='ansible')
pull_changedFilesOriginal, stderroutput = process.communicate()

It shows
stderroutput = "b'accepts 0 arg(s), received 1\n'"

The call presented here is the same as above and thus doesn't try to pipe the token file gh via stdin. Something like this could work, and if not please consult the documentation of popen on how to pass things via stdin

process = subprocess.Popen(["gh","auth","login","--with-token"], stdin=os.open("ghKeysconfig", "r"), cwd='ansible')
pull_changedFilesOriginal, stderroutput = process.communicate()

Yes, a little bit of change working fine for me. Thanks @Byron

process = subprocess.Popen(["gh","auth","login","--with-token"], stdin=open("ghKeysconfig", "r"), cwd='ansible')
pull_changedFilesOriginal, stderroutput = process.communicate()
