    Let’s say the .git dir is in an otherwise empty directory called “test.”

    git clone test new_test
    

    new_test will now contain the .git directory and a working copy. Alternatively, you can also point directly to the .git directory:

    git clone test/.git new_test
    

    with the same result.
