Get Git repo url using absolute path

Question

I can get the repository path running the following command in the repository folder (like it was suggested here):

git config --get remote.origin.url

How can I get the git repository url using an absolute path?

Suppose that I am in another folder and I want to get the repository url from another folder, using an absolute path.

I tried this, but doesn't work.

git config --get remote.origin.url --path /home/username/myFolder

Good, but not complete. The `.git` folder has to be added after `--git-dir` path, like [here.](http://stackoverflow.com/a/1386350/1420197) I edited your answer. – Ionică Bizău Aug 23 '13 at 03:29
Yeah, I just typed that in from memory, not remembering that it needs the bare repo (the .git folder). Thanks! – forivall Aug 24 '13 at 01:19
Nice and clean. – Abdulla Nilam Jun 19 '18 at 06:01
