Hello, Why not keeping a non-bare repo on the USB drive instead? But there are two drawbacks here.
The first one is obvious: it will take much more space, as something is always checked out. The second one is a bit more subtle: you can push to a non-bare repo, but you canʼt push to its checked out branch directly. Eg. if you checkout master on the USB drive, you canʼt do git push us-drive master. As a workaround, you have to git checkout another-branch (on the USB drive), git push usb-drive master (on the PC), and git checkout master (on the USB drive again).
