The <name> is expected in the same format as listed by
'git config' (subkeys separated by dots).
---exec-path::
+--exec-path[=<path>]::
Path to wherever your core git programs are installed.
This can also be controlled by setting the GIT_EXEC_PATH
environment variable. If no path is given, 'git' will print
path or relative path to current working directory.
--work-tree=<path>::
- Set the path to the working tree. The value will not be
- used in combination with repositories found automatically in
- a .git directory (i.e. $GIT_DIR is not set).
+ Set the path to the working tree. It can be an absolute path
+ or a path relative to the current working directory.
This can also be controlled by setting the GIT_WORK_TREE
environment variable and the core.worktree configuration
- variable. It can be an absolute path or relative path to
- the directory specified by --git-dir or GIT_DIR.
- Note: If --git-dir or GIT_DIR are specified but none of
- --work-tree, GIT_WORK_TREE and core.worktree is specified,
- the current working directory is regarded as the top directory
- of your working tree.
+ variable (see core.worktree in linkgit:git-config[1] for a
+ more detailed discussion).
--bare::
Treat the repository as a bare repository. If GIT_DIR
(i.e. the contents of `$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/<head>`).
