    --git-dir=<path>

    Set the path to the repository. This can also be controlled by setting the GIT_DIR environment variable. It can be an absolute path or relative path to current working directory.

    Note that <path> above means the path to the actual git directory (project_dir/.git) not just the project directory (project_dir).
