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

Solution

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

Good, but not complete. The .git folder has to be added after --git-dir path, like here. I edited your answer.

Yeah, I just typed that in from memory, not remembering that it needs the bare repo (the .git folder). Thanks!

Nice and clean.
