lab 46 Bare Repositories
Goals
- Learn how to create bare repositories.
Bare repositories (without working directories) are usually used for sharing.
NOTE: 46-49 are optional steps. Don't forget to cd out of the working directory
'hello' means your repository.
Create a bare repository. 01
Execute:
cd .. git clone --bare hello hello.git ls hello.git
Output:
$ git clone --bare hello hello.git Cloning into bare repository hello.git... done. $ ls hello.git HEAD config description hooks info objects packed-refs refs
The convention is that repositories ending in ‘.git’ are bare repositories. We can see that there is no working directory in the hello.git repo. Essentially it is nothing but the .git directory of a non-bare repo.
