Git Fetch All Branches

In this post, we will see how to fetch all Git branches. Sometimes, we need to clone a repository that has lots of branches but it will only show you the master the main branch when you run the git branch command. Let’s see how to fetch all the Git branches.

Solution 01 git branch -r

The -r or --remotes option is used to list remote-tracking branches. Run the below command to see all the branches in your terminal.

git branch -r

Then, you can check them out as local branches with:

git checkout -b LocalName origin/remotebranchname

Solution 02 git branch -a

The -a or --all option is used to list both remote-tracking branches and local branches. Run the below command to see all the branches in your terminal.

git branch -a

Solution 03 Using Bash Script

Using the bash script all remote branches will be added to the git track so you don’t need to run the above command everytime. You need to run git branch command to see all branches. Run the below command to see all the branches in your terminal.

for i in $(git branch -r | grep -vE "HEAD|master"); do git branch --track ${i#*/} $i; done

Now, run the git branch to see all branches.
