What's the -practical- difference between a Bare and non-Bare repository?

Question

I\'ve been reading about the bare and non-bare / default repositores in Git. I haven\'t been able to understand quite well (theoretically) about the differences between them

Answer 1

A non-bare repository simply has a checked-out working tree. The working tree does not store any information about the state of the repository (branches, tags, etc.); rather, the working tree is just a representation of the actual files in the repo, which allows you to work on (edit, etc.) the files.
