DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
Fetches named heads or tags from one or more other repositories,
|
|
|
|
|
along with the objects necessary to complete them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ref names and their object names of fetched refs are stored
|
|
|
|
|
in `.git/FETCH_HEAD`. This information is left for a later merge
|
|
|
|
|
operation done by 'git merge'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When <refspec> stores the fetched result in tracking branches,
|
|
|
|
|
the tags that point at these branches are automatically
|
|
|
|
|
followed. This is done by first fetching from the remote using
|
|
|
|
|
the given <refspec>s, and if the repository has objects that are
|
|
|
|
|
pointed by remote tags that it does not yet have, then fetch
|
|
|
|
|
those missing tags. If the other end has tags that point at
|
|
|
|
|
branches you are not interested in, you will not get them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'git fetch' can fetch from either a single named repository, or
|
|
|
|
|
or from several repositories at once if <group> is given and
|
|
|
|
|
there is a remotes.<group> entry in the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
|
(See linkgit:git-config[1]).

EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Update the remote-tracking branches:
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
$ git fetch origin
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
The above command copies all branches from the remote refs/heads/
|
|
|
|
|
namespace and stores them to the local refs/remotes/origin/ namespace,
|
|
|
|
|
unless the branch.<name>.fetch option is used to specify a non-default
|
|
|
|
|
refspec.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Using refspecs explicitly:
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
$ git fetch origin +pu:pu maint:tmp
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
This updates (or creates, as necessary) branches `pu` and `tmp` in
|
|
|
|
|
the local repository by fetching from the branches (respectively)
|
|
|
|
|
`pu` and `maint` from the remote repository.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
The `pu` branch will be updated even if it is does not fast-forward,
|
|
|
|
|
because it is prefixed with a plus sign; `tmp` will not be.
