I'd suggest you to use PyDriller instead (it uses GitPython internally). Much easier to use:

for commit in RepositoryMining("path_to_repo").traverse_commits():

        print(modified_file.diff)
        # etc...

You can also analyze a single commit by doing:

for commit in RepositoryMining("path_to_repo", single="123213")
