git CLI usage with different working directory

Just learned that you can call Git from the CLI with different working directory context. This was helpful when making my typical "git wrapper" commands on one of my CLIs.

git -C <path> <subcommmand>

An example of this would be:

git -C /home/matthew/zets/ add

Which would run git add on my /home/matthew/zets/.git (or ~/zets/.git).
