You don't actually do any work in a bare repository. That's more for
master-master, "archival" purposes, i.e. init bare, or clone bare, etc.
However, you should be able to clone from a bare repository and push
changes into that repository from the context of the clone.

If you are diving head first into the files/folders of a bare repo you are
doing something wrong. Should never ever do that unless you absolutely know
what you are doing. And even then, I would discourage the practice.

I don't know if this is Windows or Linux for you, but the principles should
be the same.
