Gitweb and gitk know how to look at .git (bare) repo and display the contents. (I use gitk to verify that a push did what I wanted.) There is no work-tree for a .git repo to do linux "ls" on. If you really want to use commandline you would have to use git commands like git-show, git-ls-files, git-cat-file, git-log, etc., to display and interrogate the contents of git objects (tags, commits, trees, blobs) in a .git repo.

I suspect reviewing it in gitweb is sufficient to verify that the push did what you wanted. (I don't use gitwet, yet.)
