Git alias referencing commands executed from a subdirectory of a repo

Two git functions defined in .gitconfig (using alias)

create-file = "!f() { for name in \"$@\"; do echo $name>$name.txt; done; }; f"

m-commit = "!f() { for name in \"$@\"; do git create-file $name; done; }; f"

git m-commit a b c

This runs ok from the top-level directory of a git repo.

How to make it to run it from subdirectory, (to create test files in this subdirectory, not in the top)

Thanks for any help.

The name of the top-level directory is output by git rev-parse --show-toplevel.
