Converting bare git repository into a copy where I can see the files

Question

I need to convert a local bare git repository to another form where I can see the actual files. My repository is roughly 13.5GB in size. Essentially, the repository is in a state in which it would be if it were hosted on a remote server.

I have a repository structure like the following:

- gitrepo
  - repo
    -branches
    -hooks
    -info
    -objects
    -refs
    -HEAD (file)
    -Description (file)
    -config (file)

When inspecting the folder in git bash, the gitrepo folder is master, and the repo folder is BARE:master.

I understand the git-clone command should be used to complete this action, but, when I git-clone each of the gitrepo and repo folders to another directory, I get the message saying I have cloned an empty directory.
