Current Behavior

The documented way to have the codex CLI skip the git repo check is with

codex exec --skip-git-repo-check "say hello"

Proposed Changes:

Add skip_git_repo_check to the configuration options in config.toml

Additional information

This is a follow up to: https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/3511

This request is not to change the default behavior for everyone (like 3511), which could be a breaking change. It is to enable the configuration so that developers can choose.

In my main use case, I have workflows that involve multiple repos (ops, mobile client, and server) rather than a monorepo. Executing from the parent directory simplifies some processes. In another, I have an agent creating a directory and initiating a repo for a new project, so there is not yet a repo to check against.

Acknowledged there are workarounds, but this reduces friction in using the CLI.
