how to save it as an .xlsx file

Solution 
  • output = repo.git.execute(["git", "show", flag + ":" + git_path], None, False, True, False, None, False)
with open(remote_file_path, 'wb') as f:
    f.write(output)

    git.execute the seventh parameter:

    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.
