Issues with the git module installation

I have tried to install git with both pip/pip3 and conda. When doing with pip/pip3 i get the following in shell:

(base) Micheles-MacBook-Air:~ michelegiglioni$ pip install git
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement git (from versions:none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for git

(base) Micheles-MacBook-Air:~ michelegiglioni$ pip3 install git
Collecting git
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement git (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for git
WARNING: You are using pip version 19.2.3, however version 20.1.1 is available.

I have also updated git to the latest version and re-run the pip install command with no success. I have also tried going through with conda with the following:

conda install -c conda-forge git

It apparently downloaded git but then the result in JupiterLab is still the following:

import git

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1-99021728f681> in <module>
----> 1 import git

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'git'

Do you have any suggestions on how i could proceed to use the git module? Thank you

There's no git package in the PyPI official site allowing you to execute the command pip install git. That's why your first command is failing. Probably you're trying with the wrong package name.

If this is the package you're looking for, try the command pip install gitpython.
