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
Add 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.
By default, only tags on fetched branches are imported (see git-fetch(1)).
With -t <branch> option, instead of the default glob refspec for the remote to track
all branches under the refs/remotes/<name>/ namespace, 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, a symbolic-ref refs/remotes/<name>/HEAD is set up to point at
remote's <master> branch. See also the set-head command.
When a fetch mirror is created with --mirror=fetch, the refs will not be stored in the
refs/remotes/ namespace, but rather everything in refs/ on the remote will be directly
mirrored into refs/ in the local repository. This option only makes sense in bare
repositories, because a fetch would overwrite any local commits.
When a push mirror is created with --mirror=push, then 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.
remove, 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 (i.e. the target of the symbolic-ref
refs/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 or --delete, the symbolic ref refs/remotes/<name>/HEAD is deleted.
With -a or --auto, the remote is queried to determine its HEAD, then the symbolic-ref
refs/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 the symbolic-ref
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 the symbolic-ref refs/remotes/<name>/HEAD explicitly. e.g., git
remote set-head origin master will set the symbolic-ref 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.
get-url
Retrieves the URLs for a remote. Configurations for insteadOf and pushInsteadOf are
expanded here. By default, only the first URL is listed.
With --push, push URLs are queried rather than fetch URLs.
With --all, all URLs for the remote will be listed.
set-url
Changes URLs for the remote. Sets first URL for remote <name> that matches regex
<oldurl> (first URL if no <oldurl> is given) to <newurl>. If <oldurl> doesn't match
any URL, an error occurs and nothing is changed.
With --push, push URLs are manipulated instead of fetch URLs.
With --add, instead of changing existing URLs, new URL is added.
With --delete, instead of changing existing URLs, all URLs matching regex <url> are
deleted for remote <name>. Trying to delete all non-push URLs is an error.
Note that the push URL and the fetch URL, even though they can be set differently,
must still refer to the same place. What you pushed to the push URL should be what you
would see if you immediately fetched from the fetch URL. If you are trying to fetch
from one place (e.g. your upstream) and push to another (e.g. your publishing
repository), use two separate remotes.
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 stale references associated with <name>. By default, stale remote-tracking
branches under <name> are deleted, but depending on global configuration and the
configuration of the remote we might even prune local tags that haven't been pushed
there. Equivalent to git fetch --prune <name>, except that no new references will be
fetched.
See the PRUNING section of git-fetch(1) for what it'll prune depending on various
configuration.
With --dry-run option, report what branches would be pruned, but do not actually prune
them.
update
Fetch updates for remotes or remote groups in the repository as defined by
remotes.<group>. If neither group nor remote is 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 git-config(1)).
With --prune option, run pruning against all the remotes that are updated.
DISCUSSION
The remote configuration is achieved using the remote.origin.url and remote.origin.fetch
configuration variables. (See git-config(1)).
EXIT STATUS
On success, the exit status is 0.
When subcommands such as add, rename, and remove can't find the remote in question, the
exit status is 2. When the remote already exists, the exit status is 3.
On any other error, the exit status may be any other non-zero value.
EXAMPLES
o Add a new remote, fetch, and check out a branch from it
$ git remote
origin
$ git branch -r
origin/HEAD -> origin/master
origin/master
$ git remote add staging git://git.kernel.org/.../gregkh/staging.git
$ git remote
origin
staging
$ git fetch staging
...
From git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging
* [new branch] master -> staging/master
* [new branch] staging-linus -> staging/staging-linus
* [new branch] staging-next -> staging/staging-next
$ git branch -r
origin/HEAD -> origin/master
origin/master
staging/master
staging/staging-linus
staging/staging-next
$ git switch -c staging staging/master
...
o 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
