yes bare git works just fine. if you ever want a web GUI and/or issues and Pull Request you want such a tool.
A web GUI can be very nice to share your repository publicly. You can also use codeberg.org if you can’t or don’t want to self host.
PS : I’m kinda shocked (not that much) by the downvotes or your legitimate and polite comment. Still looking for better communities/system.
knowing nothing about the situation is indeed the problem. if only this process was more transparent…
