I tried just saying "yep." but it won't let me post answers smaller than 15 characters :P A git repository is simply a folder(and it's sub folders) with a .git directory initialized with git init. you can move this folder anywhere and it will work with git.

I'm new to Git too, hence coming upon this question. Even though git bundle seems like a better option according to other answers here, if backing up files manually, surely only the .git folder needs to be backed up? Can the current state of any branch be reconstituted properly from just that folder's contents?
