How to pull and push between bare repositories, there are no files?

Note that any time you push and pull working files are not directly the object. i.e., you can do even

rm -rf *
(that leaves .git)
and do pushes and pulls. You can always get your working files back with git reset --hard.

A bare repo is somewhat different as I believe you don't need the .git directory, the stuff goes in the main directory,
but it exists purely for push/pull, not actual editing. This article should help to explain more.
