git-root: Print the current working directory relative to the root of the current Git repository.
$ git root --relative
try on your machine
The command "git root --relative" is not a valid Git command.
However, if we assume that you intended to use the command "git rev-parse --show-toplevel", then it would make sense.
The command "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" is used to display the top-level directory of the current Git repository.
Here's a breakdown of the individual parts of the command:
- "git": It is the command-line interface for Git, which is a version control system used for tracking changes in files and coordinating work among multiple people.
- "rev-parse": It is a Git command used to parse and manipulate commit object references.
- "--show-toplevel": It is an option that when used with "rev-parse", it instructs Git to display the top-level directory of the current Git repository.
So, when you run "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" or its alias "git root --relative" in your Git repository, it will output the absolute path to the top-level directory of the repository.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
