The concept of "fake bare git" comes from the fact that the GIT_DIR
is names e.g. vim.git (instead of .git), which is like a bare repo,
but core.bare is set to false (hence "fake"), because there is
a worktree, albeit it's detached.
I think "detached worktree repository" also covers it and might be
a better name.
Here is how to create one:
Create a *non-bare* repo as you would always do, but in a temp
directory (or directly in ~ if you wish):
mkdir mytempworktree && cd mytempworktree
git init
git remote add origin ssh://server/path/to/repo
git config branch.master.remote origin
git config branch.master.merge refs/heads/master
Or if the repo already exists remotely, clone it into a temp
directory (or ~):
mkdir mytempworktree && cd mytempworktree
git clone git://git.madduck.net/madduck/pub/etc/vim.git
Then move the GIT_DIR to the final location and set core.worktree
to point to the worktree (~ in our case)
git config core.worktree ../../ # ~/.fgits/vim.git/../../ → ~
mv .git ~/.fgits/vim.git
and possibly move checked out files to the worktree:
mv * .* ~
To work with the repo, make sure to export
GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME
GIT_DIR=$HOME/.fgits/repo.git
or:
alias git="git --work-tree=$HOME --git-dir=$HOME/.fgits/repo.git")
Essentially, this is what my vcsh function does for me:
