How to navigate to the git root directory

Today Bez Hermoso's git tip passed my Twitter timeline, and it's worth bookmarking it here on my blog.

Whenever you find yourself cd'ing around in a large project just to reach the root of a git repository, the following alias might come in handy.

alias gr='cd $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)'

It automatically navigates you to the git repo root! 💪
