============
Set the path to the repository. This can also be controlled by
setting the GIT_DIR environment variable.
+--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).
+ This can also be controlled by setting the GIT_WORK_TREE
+ environment variable and the core.worktree configuration
+ variable.
+
--bare::
Same as --git-dir=`pwd`.
specifies a path to use instead of the default `.git`
for the base of the repository.
+'GIT_WORK_TREE'::
+ 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. $GIT_DIR is not set).
+ This can also be controlled by the '--work-tree' command line
+ option and the core.worktree configuration variable.
+
git Commits
~~~~~~~~~~~
'GIT_AUTHOR_NAME'::
'GIT_PAGER'::
This environment variable overrides `$PAGER`.
+'GIT_FLUSH'::
+ If this environment variable is set to "1", then commands such
+ as git-blame (in incremental mode), git-rev-list, git-log,
+ git-whatchanged, etc., will force a flush of the output stream
+ after each commit-oriented record have been flushed. If this
+ variable is set to "0", the output of these commands will be done
+ using completely buffered I/O. If this environment variable is
+ not set, git will choose buffered or record-oriented flushing
+ based on whether stdout appears to be redirected to a file or not.
+
'GIT_TRACE'::
If this variable is set to "1", "2" or "true" (comparison
is case insensitive), git will print `trace:` messages on
