Yes, definitely.
Git is a distributed version control system, meaning even local copy is a separate repository. To copy the whole repository (and its content), you only need to copy the main directory (with
.gitdirectory at the top level of it).Try it. Just create some repository, make some changes. Then copy the directory with your code (including
.gitdirectory) somewhere else, make some changes (without pulling / pushing from / to remotes) and check if the history of these two separate copies differs. If yes, you are doing it correctly, because by copying repository’s directory you have just created another repository 🙂
