Specifying Maven's local repository location as a CLI parameter

Question

Is it possible to set the location of the local Maven repository as argument on the Maven command line?

The thing is that I don\'t use the default one in ~/.m2

Answer 1

For git:

alias mvn='mvn "-Dmaven.repo.local=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.m2/repository"'

This uses a separate maven repository in each git repository
