python - Git push via GitPython

Question

I have this code in Python (using "import git"):

repo = git.Repo("my_repository")
repo.git.add("bla.txt")
repo.git.commit("my commit description")

Now I want to push this commit. I've tried a lot with no success. The Python command should be similar to this Bash command:

git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master

Following is the code to git add, git commit and then git push using GitPython.

Install GitPython using pip install gitpython.

from git import Repo

PATH_OF_GIT_REPO = r'pathoyourprojectfolder.git'  # make sure .git folder is properly configured
COMMIT_MESSAGE = 'comment from python script'

def git_push():
    try:
        repo = Repo(PATH_OF_GIT_REPO)
        repo.git.add(update=True)
        repo.index.commit(COMMIT_MESSAGE)
        origin = repo.remote(name='origin')
        origin.push()
    except:
        print('Some error occured while pushing the code')    

git_push()
