How I can get current working dir from console using git?
something like: if I'm in: ~/projects/someproject/somesubfolder/, the console command should say /home/va1en0k/someproject/ (if there is a .git/ folder in this directory or something like this)
or if GIT_WORKING_DIR is set, it should return it. or whatever Git uses to determine it

Try this:
echo $( cd $(git rev-parse --show-cdup); pwd)

Simple:
git rev-parse --show-toplevel

--show-toplevel will be an absolute path apparently, and --show-cdup will be relative to cwd. – Alexander Bird – 2019-10-29T17:12:47.987
10I looked at git-rev-parse(1). It seems like "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" will suffice. Thank you! :-) – valya – 2011-04-10T19:03:57.503
