            It should be a string, or a sequence of program arguments. The

        :param istream:
            Standard input filehandle passed to subprocess.Popen.

        :param with_extended_output:
            Whether to return a (status, stdout, stderr) tuple.

        :param with_exceptions:
            Whether to raise an exception when git returns a non-zero status.

        :param as_process:
            Whether to return the created process instance directly from which
            streams can be read on demand. This will render with_extended_output and
            with_exceptions ineffective - the caller will have
            to deal with the details himself.
            It is important to note that the process will be placed into an AutoInterrupt
            wrapper that will interrupt the process once it goes out of scope. If you
            use the command in iterators, you should pass the whole process instance
            instead of a single stream.

        :param output_stream:
            If set to a file-like object, data produced by the git command will be
            output to the given stream directly.
            This feature only has any effect if as_process is False. Processes will
            always be created with a pipe due to issues with subprocess.
            This merely is a workaround as data will be copied from the
            output pipe to the given output stream directly.
            Judging from the implementation, you shouldn't use this flag !

        :param stdout_as_string:
            if False, the commands standard output will be bytes. Otherwise, it will be
            decoded into a string using the default encoding (usually utf-8).
            The latter can fail, if the output contains binary data.

        :param env:
            A dictionary of environment variables to be passed to `subprocess.Popen`.

        :param max_chunk_size:
            Maximum number of bytes in one chunk of data passed to the output_stream in
            one invocation of write() method. If the given number is not positive then
            the default value is used.

        :param subprocess_kwargs:
            Keyword arguments to be passed to subprocess.Popen. Please note that
            some of the valid kwargs are already set by this method, the ones you
            specify may not be the same ones.

        :param with_stdout: If True, default True, we open stdout on the created process
        :param universal_newlines:
            if True, pipes will be opened as text, and lines are split at
            all known line endings.
        :param shell:
            Whether to invoke commands through a shell (see `Popen(..., shell=True)`).
            It overrides :attr:`USE_SHELL` if it is not `None`.
        :param kill_after_timeout:
            To specify a timeout in seconds for the git command, after which the process
            should be killed. This will have no effect if as_process is set to True. It is
            set to None by default and will let the process run until the timeout is
            explicitly specified. This feature is not supported on Windows. It's also worth
            noting that kill_after_timeout uses SIGKILL, which can have negative side
            effects on a repository. For example, stale locks in case of git gc could
            render the repository incapable of accepting changes until the lock is manually
            removed.
        :param strip_newline_in_stdout:
            Whether to strip the trailing ``\\n`` of the command stdout.
