============
NAME
----
git-remote - manage set of tracked repositories
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git-remote'
'git-remote' add <name> <url>
'git-remote' show <name>
'git-remote' prune <name>
'git-remote' update [group]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Manage the set of repositories ("remotes") whose branches you track.
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 `-t <branch>` option, instead of the default glob
refspec for the remote to track all branches under
`$GIT_DIR/remotes/<name>/`, a refspec to track only `<branch>`
is created. You can give more than one `-t <branch>` to track
multiple branche without grabbing all branches.
+
With `-m <master>` option, `$GIT_DIR/remotes/<name>/HEAD` is set
up to point at remote's `<master>` branch instead of whatever
branch the `HEAD` at the remote repository actually points at.
'show'::
Gives some information about the remote <name>.
'prune'::
Deletes all stale 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>".
'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 get used; if
remotes.default is not defined, all remotes which do not the
configuration parameter remote.<name>.skipDefaultUpdate set to true will
be updated. (See gitlink:git-config[1]).
DISCUSSION
----------
The remote configuration is achieved using the `remote.origin.url` and
`remote.origin.fetch` configuration variables. (See
gitlink: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/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
...
