The project in Apache's DocumentRoot was created using the following command:

"cd /var/www/git
git clone --bare <non-bare working directory> <project>.git"

Hence, I believe that is is bare.  Besides, it does not have .git
folder.  I assumed that when I did this that the non-bare directory
will also be updated when a push is performed via http.

My objective is that I would like the developers to be able to push
via http and these pushes will need to be reflected on the non-bare
working directory as these directories will be used for automated
tests.

Is what I am trying to do even possible?  If so, please share with me a guide.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
