You *can* but it's definitely not ideal and I wouldn't recommend doing it often. Gymnastics bars are very different from other bars and training a lot on other bars may actually mess you up when you go back to a gymnastics bar.

With a chin up bar you can do multiple exercises. It primarily works your upper body. You can do exercises for strength, endurance, and for training. Probably the most popular exercise with a chin up bar is chin ups. You can also do one arm chin ups. I hope this helps!

To do a pullover on bars you must hold on to the bar, you then use your arms to pull your chin towards the bar, as you kick your legs up, over, and around the bar to finish in a front support.
A front support in gymnastics is usually done on the bars. You will be upright and on top of the bar with your arms perfectly straight and your belly off the bar. Your stomach should not be touching the bar. You should be supporting yourself all the way up with your arms. This is one of the fundamental positions of gymnastics which will lead to the development of other skills on the bar as well.
