`git remote -v` (`--verbose`) lists down the names of remotes along with their URLs. It would be beneficial for users to also specify the filter types for promisor remotes. Something like this - origin remote-url (fetch) [blob:none] origin remote-url (push) Teach `git remote -v` to also specify the filters for promisor remotes.

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.
|
|
For promisor remotes, also show which filter (`blob:none` etc.)
|
|
are configured.
|
|
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 linkgit: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 linkgit: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 linkgit: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
|
|
linkgit: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.
|
|
|

|
$ 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

|
|
origin/master
|
|
staging/master
|
|

|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
* Imitate 'git clone' but track only selected branches
|
|
+
|
|
------------
|
|
$ mkdir project.git
|
|
