Clone all branches in a remote Git repository
One of the remote git repository has master, development & some other branches. I’ve cloned, pulled, and fetched, but I remain unable to get anything other than the master branch. I need to get all branches from remote.
Here is the solution.
Bash script
#!/bin/bash
for branch in $(git branch --all | grep '^\s*remotes' | egrep --invert-match '(:?HEAD|master)$'); do
git branch --track "${branch##*/}" "$branch"
done
One line command
git branch -a | grep -v HEAD | perl -ne 'chomp($_); s|^\*?\s*||; if (m|(.+)/(.+)| && not $d{$2}) {print qq(git branch --track $2 $1/$2\n)} else {$d{$_}=1}' | csh -xfs
