How to read file's content from GitHub file with a specific branch name?

In branch name, qa03, in my repository, repo1, I have a file, environment.yml.

qa03

repo1

environment.yml

The content of environment.yml is following:

environment.yml

# This is chef config file

chef:
- xxx/chef
- xxx/faster-git-clone
bam:
- xxx/asd
- V20180820_902


I want to read this whole file from my python script and store it into my string (so that I can send it to my Trello Card).

Q: How do I read the content of the file from GitHub repo with specific branchname? (below is my pseudocode)

....
# Read `environmet.yml from repo1/qa03`, and send it to Trello.
string_content = read('repo1:qa03/environment.yml') #Q: how???
send(string_content)

you can get branch by modifying the following part of the url:

https://github.com/username/repositoryName/blob/branchName/path/to/file


or in your case:

string_content = read(https://github.com/username/repo1/blob/qa03/environment.yml)
send(string_content)
