how to clone all branches include remote branches

gnu kevin· Feb 10, 2009, 17:49 UTC · lore

hi,

I'd like to know how to get all remote(grandparent) branches by clone a remote repo . for example: remote repo ABC contains below branches: master stable/main dev/main

while master is the local branch in remote repo and stable/main & dev/main is two remote branches of that remote repo, when I clone from ABC repo, I can only get a copy of ABC's local branch master, how can I get those two remote(grandparent) branches also copied?

BRs, Kevin

You could (if your .git/config) already contains the remote simply add a line: fetch = +refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/<remote-name>/remotes/*

The double remotes is used so that no remote-remote-branch can overwrite your tracking branch with the same name.

Hope that helped, Jojo
