### Use it with any git repo

`dotbare` can dynamically determine the top level `.git` folder if you pass the
`--git`/`-g` flag, allowing to perform git operations in the current working tree.

```sh
dotbare -g flog
```

for better ergonomics, add the following [git aliases](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Git-Aliases)

```gitconfig
# ~/.config/git/config
[alias]
# ...
fuzzy = !dotbare -g
fedit = fuzzy fedit
fgrep = fuzzy fgrep
flog = fuzzy flog
fstat = fuzzy fstat
# ...
```

now you can use it directly

```sh
git fuzzy # use <tab> to see all available commands
git flog
```
