body: <p>How can I convert a 'normal' Git repository to a bare one?</p>
  
  <p>The main difference seems to be:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>in the normal Git repository, you have a <code>.git</code> folder inside the repository containing all relevant data and all other files making up your working copy</p></li>
  <li><p>in a bare Git repository, there is no working copy and the folder (let's call it <code>repo.git</code>) contains the actual repository data</p></li>
  </ul>
