How to open repository produced by git clone --mirror












1















I got a git repository which was produced (and later zipped) by running command git clone --mirror. I was wondering how can I open the project in a way I could start programming with it.



Package root looks like following:



max$ tree
.
├── HEAD
├── config
├── description
├── hooks
│   ├── applypatch-msg.sample
│   ├── commit-msg.sample
│   ├── post-update.sample

│   ├── pre-rebase.sample

          If you want to use this repo directly as a local, then you can use git worktree. What a bare repo is "missing" compared to local work repos is a default worktree, but you can still add worktrees to them. See https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree for documentation.
