Git Remote Command Options and Usage

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 would 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. (See linkgit:git-config[1]). EXIT STATUS ----------- On success, the exit status is `0`. When subcommands such as 'add', 'rename', and 'remove' can't find the remote in question, the exit status is `2`. When the remote already exists, the exit status is `3`. On any other error, the exit status may be any other non-zero value. EXAMPLES -------- * Add a new remote, fetch, and check out a branch from it + ------------ $ git remote origin $ git branch -r origin/HEAD -> origin/master origin/master $ git remote add staging git://git.kernel.org/.../gregkh/staging.git $ git remote origin staging $ git fetch staging ... From git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging * [new branch] master -> staging/master * [new branch] staging-linus -> staging/staging-linus * [new branch] staging-next -> staging/staging-next $ git branch -r origin/HEAD -> origin/master origin/master staging/master staging/staging-linus staging/staging-next $ git switch -c staging staging/master ... ------------ * Imitate 'git clone' but track only selected branches + ------------ $ mkdir project.git $ cd project.git $ git init $ git remote add -f -t master -m master origin git://example.com/git.git/ $ git merge origin ------------ SEE ALSO -------- linkgit:git-fetch[1] linkgit:git-branch[1] linkgit:git-config[1] GIT --- Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite

The git remote command has various options and subcommands for managing remotes, including show, prune, and update, with explanations of configuration, exit status, and examples of adding and tracking remotes, as well as links to related git commands like fetch, branch, and config.
