I use Fish shell. Sometimes, I find myself in a child directory of a child directory of a child directory, several layers deep, and I want to return to the closest parent with a .git directory, as this directory represents the root project directory, so to speak.

For example, let's say I have this layout:

./
└── countries/
    ├── .git/
    └── regions/
        └── cities/

Whethere I am in countries/ or countries/regions/ or countries/regions/cities/, I would like this command to change directory to conutries/, because it is the directory that contains .git.

How do I do this in Fish?
