You can use the subprocess module in Python to open Git Bash and run a shell script. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Install Git Bash:
    If you haven't installed Git Bash on your system, you can download and install it from the official Git website: https://git-scm.com/downloads

  2. Python Script:
    Create a Python script (e.g., run_git_bash.py) to open Git Bash and run a shell script.

python
import subprocess

def run_shell_script_in_git_bash(script_path):
# Path to the Git Bash executable
git_bash_path = r'C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe' # Update with your Git Bash path

# Command to run the shell script in Git Bash
command = f'{git_bash_path} --login -i {script_path}'

try:
subprocess.run(command, shell=True, check=True)
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
print(f"Error running shell script: {e}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
shell_script_path = "path/to/your/script.sh" # Update with your shell script path
run_shell_script_in_git_bash(shell_script_path)

Replace "path/to/your/script.sh" with the actual path to your shell script.

  1. Run the Python Script:
    Open a command prompt or terminal, navigate to the directory where your run_git_bash.py script is located, and run the script:

    python run_git_bash.py

This script will launch Git Bash and execute your shell script inside it. Make sure to update the paths in the script to match your system configuration.
