Documentation / fetch-options.txton commit Teach the --all option to 'git fetch' (9c4a036)
   1--all::
   2        Fetch all remotes.

   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        Deepen the history of a 'shallow' repository created by
  12        `git clone` with `--depth=<depth>` option (see linkgit:git-clone[1])
  13        by the specified number of commits.
  14
  15-f::
  16--force::
  17        When 'git-fetch' is used with `<rbranch>:<lbranch>`
  18        refspec, it refuses to update the local branch
  19        `<lbranch>` unless the remote branch `<rbranch>` it
  20        fetches is a descendant of `<lbranch>`.  This option
  21        overrides that check.
  22
  23-k::
  24--keep::
  25        Keep downloaded pack.

  30ifndef::git-pull[]
  31-n::
  32--no-tags::
  33endif::git-pull[]
  34        By default, tags that point at objects that are downloaded
  35        from the remote repository are fetched and stored locally.
  36        This option disables this automatic tag following.
  37
  38-t::
  39--tags::
  40        Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch
  41        heads are downloaded, but tags that do not point at
  42        objects reachable from the branch heads that are being
  43        tracked will not be fetched by this mechanism.  This
  44        flag lets all tags and their associated objects be
  45        downloaded.
  46
  47-u::
  48--update-head-ok::
  49        By default 'git-fetch' refuses to update the head which
  50        corresponds to the current branch.  This flag disables the
  51        check.  This is purely for the internal use for 'git-pull'
  52        to communicate with 'git-fetch', and unless you are
  53        implementing your own Porcelain you are not supposed to
  54        use it.
  55
  56--upload-pack <upload-pack>::
  57        When given, and the repository to fetch from is handled
  58        by 'git-fetch-pack', '--exec=<upload-pack>' is passed to
  59        the command to specify non-default path for the command
  60        run on the other end.
  61
  62ifndef::git-pull[]
  63-q::
  64--quiet::
  65        Pass --quiet to git-fetch-pack and silence any other internally
  66        used git commands.
  67
  68-v::
  69--verbose::
  70        Be verbose.
