The command `git fetch <name>` can then be used to create and 26update remote-tracking branches <name>/<branch>. 27 28In the third form, gives some information about the remote <name>. 29 30In the fourth form, deletes all stale tracking branches under <name>. 31These stale branches have already been removed from the remote repository 32referenced by <name>, but are still locally available in "remotes/<name>". 33 34The remote configuration is achieved using the `remote.origin.url` and 35`remote.origin.fetch` configuration variables. (See 36gitlink:git-config[1]). 37 38Examples 39-------- 40 41Add a new remote, fetch, and check out a branch from it: 42 43------------ 44$ git remote 45origin 46$ git branch -r 47origin/master 48$ git remote add linux-nfs git://linux-nfs.org/pub/nfs-2.6.git 49$ git remote 50linux-nfs 51origin 52$ git fetch 53* refs/remotes/linux-nfs/master: storing branch 'master' ... 54 commit: bf81b46 55$ git branch -r 56origin/master 57linux-nfs/master 58$ git checkout -b nfs linux-nfs/master 59... 60------------ 61 62See Also 63-------- 64gitlink:git-fetch[1] 65gitlink:git-branch[1] 66gitlink:git-config[1] 67 68Author 69------ 70Written by Junio Hamano 71 72 73Documentation 74-------------- 75Documentation by J.
