To change the root directory in git, you can follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the current root directory of your git repository in your terminal or command prompt.
  2. Use the cd command to move to the new directory that you want to set as the root directory.
1
cd /path/to/new/root/directory


  1. Once you are in the new directory, you can initialize a new git repository using the git init command.
1
git init


  1. If you want to connect your new repository to a remote repository, you can add a new remote using the git remote add command.
1
git remote add origin <remote repository URL>


  1. You can then add your files to the new repository using the git add and git commit commands.
1
2
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"


  1. Finally, you can push your changes to the remote repository using the git push command.
1
git push -u origin master


Once you have completed these steps, your root directory in git will be changed to the new directory that you specified.
