git: Execute a Git subcommand on a custom repository root path.
$ git -C ${path-to-repo} ${subcommand}
try on your machine
This command is used to run a Git subcommand in a specific repository specified by the ${path-to-repo}
argument. Here's a breakdown of the command structure: - git
: The command-line tool that allows you to interact with Git repositories.
-C
: This option is used to specify the path to the repository you want to execute the subcommand in.${path-to-repo}
: This placeholder represents the actual path to the repository directory on your system.${subcommand}
: This placeholder represents the specific subcommand you want to run within the specified repository. For example, if you have a repository located at/path/to/my-repo
and you want to run thestatus
subcommand, the command would look like:git -C /path/to/my-repo status
This would execute thegit status
command within the/path/to/my-repo
repository, giving you the status of your repository.
