For personal purposes, I want to have my local git-repositories under a given local - say /usr/local/gitREPO - and checkout to another folder.
Such things work with the command git clone https://REMOTEgit/TEST --separate-git-dir=/usr/local/gitREPO/TEST /home/user/wrk/TEST
Within the working folder the checkout is done and a .git file containing
gitdir: /usr/local/gitREPO/TEST
Seems to work. But so sad, MS Visual Studion Code does not recognise that. Am I missing a config-entry for such details?
