Run Git Commands From Any Dir
Git has one feature that I find irksome; you have to be in the directory with the Git repository to run commands against it.
...Or do you?
Git provides the -C
flag for this scenario. Follow it with a directory name, and Git will execute your command as if it was run from <path>
.
$ git -C ~/tilex status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: lib/tilex_web/templates/layout/app.html.eex
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
