In a git hook is the current working directory guaranteed to be within the git repository?

Question

Experimentally it seems that git hooks get run with the current directory set to be the root of the repository. However, I can\'t see any guarantee about that in the git doc

Answer 1

The current answers appear to be outdated. As of 2.9.0, the docs state the following:

Before Git invokes a hook, it changes its working directory to either the root of the working tree in a non-bare repository, or to the $GIT_DIR in a bare repository.
