Getting a working copy of a bare repository

by

You can simply clone the repository to another directory on the same machine:

git clone /bare/repo/dir

The current directory will become a non-bare clone of your repo, and you’ll get a checkout of the master branch automatically. Then use the usual commands like git pull to update it as needed.

As a side benefit, this operation is very efficient — if you specify a local directory to git clone, git will use hard links to share the read-only parts of the object databases of the two repos.
