title: Accessing source files from git BARE:master
body: <p>I'm certain that I'm missing something fundamental here, but I've received a drop of an application stored in a git repository. It has folders like: branches, hooks, objects, etc, but no actual source files.</p>
  
  <p>When I open up git bash and cd into that folder, the title says "(BARE:master)".</p>
  
  <p>I assume I just need to somehow clone a local reposisitory from that folder. Ultimately, I just need access to the actual source files in the repository, but I'm surely missing some concept as I'm somewhat new to git.</p>
  
  <p>Any hints or help on how I can get this set up locally would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p><em>edit: when I try to clone from that directory I receive the following error</em></p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git clone c:/Users/Joel/Dropbox/TheProjectDirectory.git
  Cloning into LocalProjectFolder ...
  fatal: 'c:/Users/Joel/Dropbox/TheProjectDirectory.git' does not appear to be a git
   repository
