How would I run git commands on a repo when I have not cd'd into that directory?
I.e. I want to run git branch /repos/myrepo.git

To clone git repository into a specific folder, you can use -C <path> parameter, e.g. Although it'll still create a whatever folder on top of it, so to clone the content of the repository into current directory, use the following syntax: cd /httpdocs git clone [email protected]:whatever .
Starting with git 1.8.5, use the -C option.
git -C "/Users/michael/Development/Projects/opensource/dvsc-backup" status Otherwise, you have to specify --work-tree as well as --git-dir
git --work-tree="/Users/michael/Development/Projects/opensource/dvsc-backup" --git-dir="/Users/michael/Development/Projects/opensource/dvsc-backup/.git" status
--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.

Note that <path> above means the path to the actual git directory (project_dir/.git) not just the project directory (project_dir).
