GitPython-clone_from不起作用

Question

I am facing an issue while cloning a git repo.

I am using function clone_from from GitPython library

from git import Repo

Repo.clone_from("git://github.com/facebook/buck.git", "D:\\sample")

I am getting error

WindowsError: The system cannot find the file specified

Can someone please tell me if this is how to clone a repo using the library?

You might not have git.ext in your PATH , but that can easily be tested by executing it yourself. If you see an error, you can either add it to the PATH , or set the GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE to the executable git-python should execute for git commandline services.
