1--all:: 2 Fetch all remotes. 3 4-a:: 5--append:: 6 Append ref names and object names of fetched refs to the 7 existing contents of `.git/FETCH_HEAD`. Without this 8 option old data in `.git/FETCH_HEAD` will be overwritten. 9 10--depth=<depth>:: 11 Limit fetching to the specified number of commits from the tip of 12 each remote branch history. If fetching to a 'shallow' repository 13 created by `git clone` with `--depth=<depth>` option (see 14 linkgit:git-clone[1]), deepen or shorten the history to the specified 15 number of commits. Tags for the deepened commits are not fetched. 16 17--unshallow:: 18 If the source repository is complete, convert a shallow 19 repository to a complete one, removing all the limitations 20 imposed by shallow repositories. 21+ 22If the source repository is shallow, fetch as much as possible so that 23the current repository has the same history as the source repository. 24 25--update-shallow:: 26 By default when fetching from a shallow repository, 27 `git fetch` refuses refs that require updating 28 .git/shallow. This option updates .git/shallow and accept such 29 refs. 30 31ifndef::git-pull[] 32--dry-run:: 33 Show what would be done, without making any changes. 34endif::git-pull[] 35 36-f:: 37--force:: 38 When 'git fetch' is used with `<rbranch>:<lbranch>` 39 refspec, it refuses to update the local branch 40 `<lbranch>` unless the remote branch `<rbranch>` it 41 fetches is a descendant of `<lbranch>`. This option 42 overrides that check. 43 44-k:: 45--keep:: 46 Keep downloaded pack. 47 48ifndef::git-pull[] 49--multiple:: 50 Allow several <repository> and <group> arguments to be 51 specified. No <refspec>s may be specified. 52 53-p:: 54--prune:: 55 After fetching, remove any remote-tracking references that no 56 longer exist on the remote. Tags are not subject to pruning 57 if they are fetched only because of the default tag 58 auto-following or due to a --tags option. However, if tags 59 are fetched due to an explicit refspec (either on the command 60 line or in the remote configuration, for example if the remote 61 was cloned with the --mirror option), then they are also 62 subject to pruning. 63endif::git-pull[] 64 65ifndef::git-pull[] 66-n:: 67endif::git-pull[] 68--no-tags:: 69 By default, tags that point at objects that are downloaded 70 from the remote repository are fetched and stored locally. 71 This option disables this automatic tag following. The default 72 behavior for a remote may be specified with the remote.<name>.tagOpt 73 setting. See linkgit:git-config[1]. 74 75ifndef::git-pull[] 76--refmap=<refspec>:: 77 When fetching refs listed on the command line, use the 78 specified refspec (can be given more than once) to map the 79 refs to remote-tracking branches, instead of the values of 80 `remote.*.fetch` configuration variables for the remote 81 repository. See section on "Configured Remote-tracking 82 Branches" for details. 83 84-t:: 85--tags:: 86 Fetch all tags from the remote (i.e., fetch remote tags 87 `refs/tags/*` into local tags with the same name), in addition 88 to whatever else would otherwise be fetched. Using this 89 option alone does not subject tags to pruning, even if --prune 90 is used (though tags may be pruned anyway if they are also the 91 destination of an explicit refspec; see '--prune'). 92 93--recurse-submodules[=yes|on-demand|no]:: 94 This option controls if and under what conditions new commits of 95 populated submodules should be fetched too. It can be used as a 96 boolean option to completely disable recursion when set to 'no' or to 97 unconditionally recurse into all populated submodules when set to 98 'yes', which is the default when this option is used without any 99 value. Use 'on-demand' to only recurse into a populated submodule 100 when the superproject retrieves a commit that updates the submodule's 101 reference to a commit that isn't already in the local submodule 102 clone. 103 104-j:: 105--jobs=<n>:: 106 Number of parallel children to be used for fetching submodules. 107 Each will fetch from different submodules, such that fetching many 108 submodules will be faster. By default submodules will be fetched 109 one at a time. 110 111--no-recurse-submodules:: 112 Disable recursive fetching of submodules (this has the same effect as 113 using the '--recurse-submodules=no' option). 114 115--submodule-prefix=<path>:: 116 Prepend <path> to paths printed in informative messages 117 such as "Fetching submodule foo". This option is used 118 internally when recursing over submodules. 119 120--recurse-submodules-default=[yes|on-demand]:: 121 This option is used internally to temporarily provide a 122 non-negative default value for the --recurse-submodules 123 option. All other methods of configuring fetch's submodule 124 recursion (such as settings in linkgit:gitmodules[5] and 125 linkgit:git-config[1]) override this option, as does 126 specifying --[no-]recurse-submodules directly. 127endif::git-pull[] 128 129-u:: 130--update-head-ok:: 131 By default 'git fetch' refuses to update the head which 132 corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the 133 check. This is purely for the internal use for 'git pull' 134 to communicate with 'git fetch', and unless you are 135 implementing your own Porcelain you are not supposed to 136 use it. 137 138--upload-pack <upload-pack>:: 139 When given, and the repository to fetch from is handled 140 by 'git fetch-pack', '--exec=<upload-pack>' is passed to 141 the command to specify non-default path for the command 142 run on the other end. 143 144ifndef::git-pull[] 145-q:: 146--quiet:: 147 Pass --quiet to git-fetch-pack and silence any other internally 148 used git commands. Progress is not reported to the standard error 149 stream. 150 151-v:: 152--verbose:: 153 Be verbose. 154endif::git-pull[] 155 156--progress:: 157 Progress status is reported on the standard error stream 158 by default when it is attached to a terminal, unless -q 159 is specified. This flag forces progress status even if the 160 standard error stream is not directed to a terminal.
