映射的Windows驱动器中的Git工作树

Question

I have a windows machine setup with a something like this:

N:\path\to\dir\project1.git
N:\path\to\dir\running_dir

where N: is a mapped network drive .

I'm trying to automatically checkout project1.git in my running_dir upon pushing to project1.git . I have followed this post on exporting GIT_WORK_TREE ; however, I am confused on what path to use in my post-receive hook:

#!/bin/sh
GIT_WORK_TREE= ????????
export GIT_WORK_TREE
git checkout -f

Suppose that N: maps to C:\\a\\b on the remote windows machine.

Currently trying: /c/a/b/path/to/dir/running_dir

edit : Also trying:

git --work-tree=/c/a/b/path/to/dir/running_dir checkout -f

and getting: fatal: this operation must be run in a work tree

Answer 1

Adding absolute paths weren't working - regardless what I tried. Easily fixed by supplying a relative path to --work-tree though

Answer 2

Run bash-shell in N:\\path\\to\\dir\\running_dir , in which perform pwd .

Output of this command will be path, translated for bash
