Having said all that, here is a tip of the day. I have this in my .bashrc
for interactive shells.
cdup () {
local eh
eh=$(git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree) || return
case "$eh" in
true)
eh=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
test -z "$eh" || cd "$eh"
;;
false)
eh=$(git rev-parse --git-dir) || return
cd "$eh" || return
eh=$(git rev-parse --is-bare-repository) || return
test "z$eh" = ztrue || cd ..
;;
esac
}
and I can say
$ cd Documentation/howto
$ editor *.txt
$ cdup
to come back to the toplevel after having worked somewhere deep in the
mine.
