Without this + option old data in `.git/FETCH_HEAD` will be overwritten. + +--depth=<depth>:: + Limit fetching to the specified number of commits from the tip of + each remote branch history. If fetching to a 'shallow' repository + created by `git clone` with `--depth=<depth>` option (see + linkgit:git-clone[1]), deepen or shorten the history to the specified + number of commits. Tags for the deepened commits are not fetched. + +--deepen=<depth>:: + Similar to --depth, except it specifies the number of commits + from the current shallow boundary instead of from the tip of + each remote branch history. + +--shallow-since=<date>:: + Deepen or shorten the history of a shallow repository to + include all reachable commits after <date>. + +--shallow-exclude=<revision>:: + Deepen or shorten the history of a shallow repository to + exclude commits reachable from a specified remote branch or tag. + This option can be specified multiple times. + +--unshallow:: + If the source repository is complete, convert a shallow + repository to a complete one, removing all the limitations + imposed by shallow repositories. ++ +If the source repository is shallow, fetch as much as possible so that +the current repository has the same history as the source repository. + +--update-shallow:: + By default when fetching from a shallow repository, + `git fetch` refuses refs that require updating + .git/shallow. This option updates .git/shallow and accept such + refs. + +--negotiation-tip=<commit|glob>:: + By default, Git will report, to the server, commits reachable + from all local refs to find common commits in an attempt to + reduce the size of the to-be-received packfile. If specified, + Git will only report commits reachable from the given tips. + This is useful to speed up fetches when the user knows which + local ref is likely to have commits in common with the + upstream ref being fetched. ++ +This option may be specified more than once; if so, Git will report +commits reachable from any of the given commits. ++ +The argument to this option may be a glob on ref names, a ref, or the (possibly +abbreviated) SHA-1 of a commit. Specifying a glob is equivalent to specifying +this option multiple times, one for each matching ref name. ++ +See also the `fetch.negotiationAlgorithm` configuration variable +documented in linkgit:git-config[1]. + +ifndef::git-pull[] +--dry-run:: + Show what would be done, without making any changes. +endif::git-pull[] + +-f:: +--force:: + When 'git fetch' is used with `<src>:<dst>` refspec it may + refuse to update the local branch as discussed +ifdef::git-pull[] + in the `<refspec>` part of the linkgit:git-fetch[1] + documentation. +endif::git-pull[] +ifndef::git-pull[] + in the `<refspec>` part below. +endif::git-pull[] + This option overrides that check. + +-k:: +--keep:: + Keep downloaded pack. + +ifndef::git-pull[] +--multiple:: + Allow several <repository> and <group> arguments to be + specified. No <refspec>s may be specified. + +--[no-]auto-gc:: + Run `git gc --auto` at the end to perform garbage collection + if needed. This is enabled by default. + +--[no-]write-commit-graph:: + Write a commit-graph after fetching. This overrides the config + setting `fetch.writeCommitGraph`. + +-p:: +--prune:: + Before fetching, remove any remote-tracking references that no + longer exist on the remote. Tags are not subject to pruning + if they are fetched only because of the default tag + auto-following or due to a --tags option. However, if tags + are fetched due to an explicit refspec (either on the command + line or in the remote configuration, for example if the remote + was cloned with the --mirror option), then they are also + subject to pruning. Supplying `--prune-tags` is a shorthand for + providing the tag refspec. ++ +See the PRUNING section below for more details. + +-P:: +--prune-tags:: + Before fetching, remove any local tags that no longer exist on + the remote if `--prune` is enabled. This option should be used + more carefully, unlike `--prune` it will remove any local + references (local tags) that have been created. This option is + a shorthand for providing the explicit tag refspec along with + `--prune`, see the discussion about that in its documentation. ++ +See the PRUNING section below for more details. + +endif::git-pull[] + +ifndef::git-pull[] +-n:: +endif::git-pull[] +--no-tags:: + By default, tags that point at objects that are downloaded + from the remote repository are fetched and stored locally. + This option disables this automatic tag following. The default + behavior for a remote may be specified with the remote.<name>.tagOpt + setting. See linkgit:git-config[1]. + +ifndef::git-pull[] +--refmap=<refspec>:: + When fetching refs listed on the command line, use the + specified refspec (can be given more than once) to map the + refs to remote-tracking branches, instead of the values of + `remote.*.fetch` configuration variables for the remote + repository. Providing an empty `<refspec>` to the + `--refmap` option causes Git to ignore the configured + refspecs and rely entirely on the refspecs supplied as + command-line arguments. See section on "Configured Remote-tracking + Branches" for details. + +-t:: +--tags:: + Fetch all tags from the remote (i.e., fetch remote tags + `refs/tags/*` into local tags with the same name), in addition + to whatever else would otherwise be fetched. Using this + option alone does not subject tags to pruning, even if --prune + is used (though tags may be pruned anyway if they are also the + destination of an explicit refspec; see `--prune`). + +--recurse-submodules[=yes|on-demand|no]:: + This option controls if and under what conditions new commits of + populated submodules should be fetched too. It can be used as a + boolean option to completely disable recursion when set to 'no' or to + unconditionally recurse into all populated submodules when set to + 'yes', which is the default when this option is used without any + value. Use 'on-demand' to only recurse into a populated submodule + when the superproject retrieves a commit that updates the submodule's + reference to a commit that isn't already in the local submodule + clone. + +-j:: +--jobs=<n>:: + Number of parallel children to be used for all forms of fetching. ++ +If the `--multiple` option was specified, the different remotes will be fetched +in parallel. If multiple submodules are fetched, they will be fetched in +parallel. To control them independently, use the config settings +`fetch.parallel` and `submodule.fetchJobs` (see linkgit:git-config[1]). ++ +Typically, parallel recursive and multi-remote fetches will be faster. By +default fetches are performed sequentially, not in parallel. + +--no-recurse-submodules:: + Disable recursive fetching of submodules (this has the same effect as + using the `--recurse-submodules=no` option). + +--set-upstream:: + If the remote is fetched successfully, pull and add upstream + (tracking) reference, used by argument-less + linkgit:git-pull[1] and other commands. For more information, + see `branch.<name>.merge` and `branch.<name>.remote` in + linkgit:git-config[1]. + +--submodule-prefix=<path>:: + Prepend <path> to paths printed in informative messages + such as "Fetching submodule foo". This option is used + internally when recursing over submodules. + +--recurse-submodules-default=[yes|on-demand]:: + This option is used internally to temporarily provide a + non-negative default value for the --recurse-submodules + option. All other methods of configuring fetch's submodule + recursion (such as settings in linkgit:gitmodules[5] and + linkgit:git-config[1]) override this option, as does + specifying --[no-]recurse-submodules directly. +endif::git-pull[] + +-u:: +--update-head-ok:: + By default 'git fetch' refuses to update the head which + corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the + check. This is purely for the internal use for 'git pull' + to communicate with 'git fetch', and unless you are + implementing your own Porcelain you are not supposed to + use it. + +--upload-pack <upload-pack>:: + When given, and the repository to fetch from is handled + by 'git fetch-pack', `--exec=<upload-pack>` is passed to + the command to specify non-default path for the command + run on the other end. + +ifndef::git-pull[] +-q:: +--quiet:: + Pass --quiet to git-fetch-pack and silence any other internally + used git commands. Progress is not reported to the standard error + stream. + +-v:: +--verbose:: + Be verbose. +endif::git-pull[] + +--progress:: + Progress status is reported on the standard error stream + by default when it is attached to a terminal, unless -q + is specified. This flag forces progress status even if the + standard error stream is not directed to a terminal. + +-o <option>:: +--server-option=<option>:: + Transmit the given string to the server when communicating using + protocol version 2. The given string must not contain a NUL or LF + character. The server's handling of server options, including + unknown ones, is server-specific. + When multiple `--server-option=<option>` are given, they are all + sent to the other side in the order listed on the command line. + +--show-forced-updates:: + By default, git checks if a branch is force-updated during + fetch. This can be disabled through fetch.showForcedUpdates, but + the --show-forced-updates option guarantees this check occurs. + See linkgit:git-config[1]. + +--no-show-forced-updates:: + By default, git checks if a branch is force-updated during + fetch. Pass --no-show-forced-updates or set fetch.showForcedUpdates + to false to skip this check for performance reasons. If used during + 'git-pull' the --ff-only option will still check for forced updates + before attempting a fast-forward update. See linkgit:git-config[1]. + +-4:: +--ipv4:: + Use IPv4 addresses only, ignoring IPv6 addresses. + +-6:: +--ipv6:: + Use IPv6 addresses only, ignoring IPv4 addresses. |
