Hey all, I have my git directory that is in /path/to/my_git_dir I would like to check it from another direcory, I tried the following command: $ git --git-dir=/path/to/my_git_dir status and $ GIT_DIR='/path/to/my_git_dir' && git status but in both cases I get this error: fatal: Not a git repository: '/path/to/my_git_dir' yet when I do "$ cd /path/to/my_git_dir && git status" I do get the results. Any idea what I'm doing wrong or if there's a way to check a git dir from a non git dir? thanx in advance Pat - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
