I do not claim to be especially knowledgable about git.

That said, what I set up for my use does involve a "--bare" (more
precisely, a "--mirror") repo.

I documented what I did at
https://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/repo-sync.html


Please be aware that I did not make any attempt (for example) to
minimize disk usage: just for FreeBSD sources, I have the mirror
repo, and I have a completely separate "normal" working copy for
each branch of FreeBSD that I track (at the moment, head, stable/12,
and stable/13).

I am also not a "developer," per se: I have no need to ever think about
trying to commit changes and push them or upstream them.

As (briefly) mentioned in the above-cited Web page, I made an attempt at
using git worktrees, found it confusing, and gave up.

What I am doing seems to be working OK for my use and requirements.  My
requirements probably do not match most other folks' requirements.

That said, there may be something useful there: For the branches I
track, I track them daily on a couple of different machines; one of
those is the laptop I use for normal, day-to-day work.


Peace,
david
