 You really should push only to bare repositories. For non-bare
 repositories git prefers pull-based workflow.
 
+When you want to deploy code on a remote host and can only use push
+(because your workstation is behind a firewall and you cannot pull
+from it) you do that in two steps using two repositories: you push
