All remote subcommands are spelled out words except 'rm'. 'rm', being a popular UNIX command name, may mislead users that there are also 'ls' or 'mv'. Use 'remove' to fit with the rest of subcommands. 'rm' is still supported and used in the test suite. It's just not widely advertised.

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
|
|
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`, the symbolic ref `refs/remotes/<name>/HEAD` is deleted.
|
|
+
|
|
With `-a`, 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.
|
|
|
|
'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
