DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Manage the set of repositories ("remotes") whose branches you track.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
-v::
|
|
--verbose::
|
|
Be a little more verbose and show remote url after name.
|
|
NOTE: This must be placed between `remote` and `subcommand`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
COMMANDS
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
With no arguments, shows a list of existing remotes. Several
|
|
subcommands are available to perform operations on the remotes.
|
|
|
|
'add'::
|
|
|
|
Adds a remote named <name> for the repository at
|
|
<url>. The command `git fetch <name>` can then be used to create and
|
|
update remote-tracking branches <name>/<branch>.
|
|
+
|
|
With `-f` option, `git fetch <name>` is run immediately after
|
|
the remote information is set up.
|
|
+
|
|
With `--tags` option, `git fetch <name>` imports every tag from the
|
|
remote repository.
|
|
+
|
|
With `--no-tags` option, `git fetch <name>` does not import tags from
|
|
the remote repository.
|
|
+
|
|
With `-t <branch>` option, instead of the default glob
|
|
refspec for the remote to track all branches under
|
|
`$GIT_DIR/remotes/<name>/`, a refspec to track only `<branch>`
|
|
is created. You can give more than one `-t <branch>` to track
|
|
multiple branches without grabbing all branches.
|
|
+
|
|
With `-m <master>` option, `$GIT_DIR/remotes/<name>/HEAD` is set
|
|
up to point at remote's `<master>` branch. See also the set-head command.
|
|
+
|
|
In mirror mode, enabled with `\--mirror`, the refs will not be stored
|
|
in the 'refs/remotes/' namespace, but in 'refs/heads/'. This option
|
|
only makes sense in bare repositories. If a remote uses mirror
|
|
mode, furthermore, `git push` will always behave as if `\--mirror`
|
|
was passed.
|
|
|
|
'rename'::
|
|
|
|
Rename the remote named <old> to <new>. All remote-tracking branches and
|
|
configuration settings for the remote are updated.
|
|
+
|
|
In case <old> and <new> are the same, and <old> is a file under
|
|
`$GIT_DIR/remotes` or `$GIT_DIR/branches`, the remote is converted to
|
|
the configuration file format.
|
|
|
|
'rm'::
|
|
|
|
Remove the remote named <name>. All remote-tracking branches and
|
|
configuration settings for the remote are removed.
|
|
|
|
'set-head'::
|
|
|
|
Sets or deletes the default branch (`$GIT_DIR/remotes/<name>/HEAD`) for
|
|
the named remote. Having a default branch for a remote is not required,
|
|
but allows the name of the remote to be specified in lieu of a specific
|
|
branch. For example, if the default branch for `origin` is set to
|
|
`master`, then `origin` may be specified wherever you would normally
|
|
specify `origin/master`.
|
|
+
|
|
With `-d`, `$GIT_DIR/remotes/<name>/HEAD` is deleted.
|
|
+
|
|
With `-a`, the remote is queried to determine its `HEAD`, then
|
|
`$GIT_DIR/remotes/<name>/HEAD` is set to the same branch. e.g., if the remote
|
|
`HEAD` is pointed at `next`, "`git remote set-head origin -a`" will set
|
|
`$GIT_DIR/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD` to `refs/remotes/origin/next`. This will
|
|
only work if `refs/remotes/origin/next` already exists; if not it must be
|
|
fetched first.
|
|
+
|
|
Use `<branch>` to set `$GIT_DIR/remotes/<name>/HEAD` explicitly. e.g., "git
|
|
remote set-head origin master" will set `$GIT_DIR/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD` to
|
|
`refs/remotes/origin/master`. This will only work if
|
|
`refs/remotes/origin/master` already exists; if not it must be fetched first.
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
'set-branches'::
|
|
|
|
Changes the list of branches tracked by the named remote.
|
|
This can be used to track a subset of the available remote branches
|
|
after the initial setup for a remote.
|
|
+
|
|
The named branches will be interpreted as if specified with the
|
|
`-t` option on the 'git remote add' command line.
|
|
+
|
|
With `--add`, instead of replacing the list of currently tracked
|
|
branches, adds to that list.
|
|
|
|
'set-url'::
|
|
|
|
Changes URL remote points to. Sets first URL remote points to matching
|
|
regex <oldurl> (first URL if no <oldurl> is given) to <newurl>. If
|
|
<oldurl> doesn't match any URL, error occurs and nothing is changed.
|
|
+
|
|
With '--push', push URLs are manipulated instead of fetch URLs.
|
|
+
|
|
With '--add', instead of changing some URL, new URL is added.
|
|
+
|
|
With '--delete', instead of changing some URL, all URLs matching
|
|
regex <url> are deleted. Trying to delete all non-push URLs is an
|
|
error.
|
|
|
|
'show'::
|
|
|
|
Gives some information about the remote <name>.
|
|
+
|
|
With `-n` option, the remote heads are not queried first with
|
|
`git ls-remote <name>`; cached information is used instead.
|
|
|
|
'prune'::
|
|
|
|
Deletes all stale remote-tracking branches under <name>.
|
|
These stale branches have already been removed from the remote repository
|
|
referenced by <name>, but are still locally available in
|
|
"remotes/<name>".
|
|
+
|
|
With `--dry-run` option, report what branches will be pruned, but do not
|
|
actually prune them.
|
|
|
|
'update'::
|
|
|
|
Fetch updates for a named set of remotes in the repository as defined by
|
|
remotes.<group>. If a named group is not specified on the command line,
|
|
the configuration parameter remotes.default will be used; if
|
|
remotes.default is not defined, all remotes which do not have the
|
|
configuration parameter remote.<name>.skipDefaultUpdate set to true will
|
|
be updated. (See linkgit:git-config[1]).
|
|
+
|
|
With `--prune` option, prune all the remotes that are updated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
DISCUSSION
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
The remote configuration is achieved using the `remote.origin.url` and
|
|
`remote.origin.fetch` configuration variables. (See
|
|
linkgit:git-config[1]).
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* Add a new remote, fetch, and check out a branch from it
|
|

|
|
------------
|
|
$ git remote
|
|
origin
|
|
$ git branch -r
|
|
origin/master
|
|
$ git remote add linux-nfs git://linux-nfs.org/pub/linux/nfs-2.6.git
|
|
$ git remote
|
|
linux-nfs
|
|
origin
|
|
$ git fetch
|
|
* refs/remotes/linux-nfs/master: storing branch 'master' ...
|
|
commit: bf81b46
|
|
$ git branch -r
|
|
origin/master
|
|
linux-nfs/master
|
|
$ git checkout -b nfs linux-nfs/master
|
|
...
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
* Imitate 'git clone' but track only selected branches
|
|
+
|
|
------------
|
|
$ mkdir project.git
|
|
$ cd project.git
|
|
$ git init
|
|
$ git remote add -f -t master -m master origin git://example.com/git.git/
|
|
$ git merge origin
