feat: configurable git repository root

Contributor checklist

• [ x ] My commit messages follow the Conventional Commit Message Format For example: fix: Multiply by appropriate coefficient, or feat(Calculator): Correctly preserve history Any explanation or long form information in your commit message should be in a separate paragraph, separated by a blank line from the primary message
• [ x ] Bug fixes include regression tests
• [ x ] Features include unit/acceptance tests (partial!)

I tried to organize my commits neatly, there's clear separation of chores along the way and the feature itself.

No tests are broken, and I added one test to check for the default repo value of cwd. I'm not sure how to test for the custom git repo, so I'm thinking for now this can be a "here be dragons" feature. I did not add documentation for this reason as well, but would be happy to do so if you think that's a good idea.

I did test this on one of my poncho/nerves projects and it seems to be working correctly.

As always, open to nitpicking/refactoring.

Closes: #52 Closes: #37
