The 'git' manual page on my system includes this section, which appears
to be the common options for git:
OPTIONS
--version
Prints the Git suite version that the git program came from.
--help
Prints the synopsis and a list of the most commonly used commands.
If the option --all or -a is given then all available commands are
printed. If a Git command is named this option will bring up the
manual page for that command.
Other options are available to control how the manual page is
displayed. See git-help(1) for more information, because git --help
... is converted internally into git help ....
-c <name>=<value>
Pass a configuration parameter to the command. The value given will
override values from configuration files. The <name> is expected in
the same format as listed by git config (subkeys separated by
dots).
--exec-path[=<path>]
Path to wherever your core Git programs are installed. This can
also be controlled by setting the GIT_EXEC_PATH environment
variable. If no path is given, git will print the current setting
and then exit.
--html-path
Print the path, without trailing slash, where Git's HTML
documentation is installed and exit.
--man-path
Print the manpath (see man(1)) for the man pages for this version
of Git and exit.
--info-path
Print the path where the Info files documenting this version of Git
are installed and exit.
-p, --paginate
Pipe all output into less (or if set, $PAGER) if standard output is
a terminal. This overrides the pager.<cmd> configuration options
(see the "Configuration Mechanism" section below).
--no-pager
Do not pipe Git output into a pager.
--git-dir=<path>
Set the path to the repository. This can also be controlled by
setting the GIT_DIR environment variable. It can be an absolute
path or relative path to current working directory.
--work-tree=<path>
Set the path to the working tree. It can be an absolute path or a
path relative to the current working directory. This can also be
controlled by setting the GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable and
the core.worktree configuration variable (see core.worktree in git-
config(1) for a more detailed discussion).
--namespace=<path>
Set the Git namespace. See gitnamespaces(7) for more details.
Equivalent to setting the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable.
--bare
Treat the repository as a bare repository. If GIT_DIR environment
is not set, it is set to the current working directory.
--no-replace-objects
Do not use replacement refs to replace Git objects. See git-
replace(1) for more information.
--literal-pathspecs
Treat pathspecs literally, rather than as glob patterns. This is
equivalent to setting the GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS environment
variable to 1.
