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

$ git help repository-layout

A Git repository comes in two different flavours:

• a .git directory at the root of the working tree;
• a .git directory that is a bare repository (i.e. without its own working tree), that is typically used for exchanging histories with others by pushing into it and fetching from it.
