twig root¶

Print the root directory of the current git repository.

Usage¶

1
2

twig root
twig rt

Description¶

Prints the absolute path to the root of the current git repository — the directory containing .git. Useful for scripting or jumping to the repo root in your shell.

Shell integration¶

To make twig root change your current directory (not just print it), add this function to your .zshrc or .bashrc:

1
2
3

grt() {
  cd "$(twig root)"
}

This is necessary because a subprocess cannot change the parent shell's working directory — the function wrapper handles that.

# Print repo root
twig root
# → /Users/you/dev/myproject

# Use in a script
cp build/output.zip "$(twig root)/dist/"
