## Frequently Asked Questions
### How do I work with a bare repository?
A bare repository only consists of the history and is not intended to be used directly. If you want to work on a specific repository you must first convert it into a non-bare Git repository. That will give you the working tree of a specific branch.
Execute the following to clone the bare Git repository `.\my_project.git` into a non-bare Git repository `.\my_project`:
```Shell
git clone .\my_project.git
```
