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 --=20 David H.
