what's the use of git bare

Comment

A bare repository created with git init --bare is for sharing.
If you are collaborating with a team of developers, and need 
a place to share changes to a repo, then you will want to create
a bare repository in centralized place where all users can push
their changes (often the easy choice is github.com). 

Because git is a distributed version control system, no one will
directly edit files in the shared centralized repository. 
Instead developers will clone the shared bare repo, make changes
locally in their working copies of the repo, then push back 
to the shared bare repo to make their changes available to other users.

git - What is ‘bare repository’ in Git?

Comment

A “bare” repository in Git contains information about the version control and no working files (no tree) and it doesn’t contain the special .git sub-directory. Instead, it contains all the contents of the .git sub-directory directly in the main directory itself, whereas the working directory consists of :
A .git subdirectory with all the Git related revision history of your repository.
A working tree, or checked out copies of your project files.
