    From, man git:

    You can do this with the --git-dir parameter, before passing any commands.

    git --git-dir /foo/bar/.git log

    (Specifying the .git directory is necessary.) From the documentation:

    --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.
