Possible to use without cd'ing into a valid git repo?

[Kraust]

Take this scenario:

• My vim cd is /home/$USER/work
• I want to view all of the MRs assigned to me regardless of repo.
• I would have expected to be able to do `require("gitlab").choose_merge_request_by_username({username = "username"})
• This doesn't work because the plugin assumes you're in a git repository.

This is how I do my git MRs in the web UI, would be nice to move some of this to neovim, but with the current platform it doesn't seem like this is possible (I could be wrong).
