Repository

The repository is a special folder with the name .git, where git stores:

  • project files
  • history of the project files
  • configuration files

Bare Repository

The remote repository is often called a bare repository. It is the git repository without any project files. As git doesn't allow changes to this directory using git commands, it is considered safe for public use.

git init --bare project.git

C:\WORKSPACE\PROJECT.GIT
├───hooks
├───info
├───objects
│   ├───info
│   └───pack
└───refs
├───heads
└───tags

Non-bare Repository

The command git clone <project.git> will copy the bare repository project.git to a hidden .git folder, create a folder named project and populate it with the project files using the history.

git clone project.git

C:\WORKSPACE\PROJECT
│   readme.md
└───.git
    ├───hooks
    ├───info
    ├───objects
    │   ├───info
    │   └───pack
    └───refs
        ├───heads
        └───tags
