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. ++ +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 will 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.
