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 Deepen or shorten the history of a 'shallow' repository created by 12 `git clone` with `--depth=<depth>` option (see linkgit:git-clone[1]) 13 to the specified number of commits from the tip of each remote 14 branch history. Tags for the deepened commits are not fetched. 15 16--unshallow:: 17 If the source repository is complete, convert a shallow 18 repository to a complete one, removing all the limitations 19 imposed by shallow repositories. 20+ 21If the source repository is shallow, fetch as much as possible so that 22the current repository has the same history as the source repository. 23 24ifndef::git-pull[] 25--dry-run:: 26 Show what would be done, without making any changes. 27endif::git-pull[] 28 29-f:: 30--force:: 31 When 'git fetch' is used with `<rbranch>:<lbranch>` 32 refspec, it refuses to update the local branch 33 `<lbranch>` unless the remote branch `<rbranch>` it 34 fetches is a descendant of `<lbranch>`. This option 35 overrides that check. 36 37-k:: 38--keep:: 39 Keep downloaded pack. 40 41ifndef::git-pull[] 42--multiple:: 43 Allow several <repository> and <group> arguments to be 44 specified. No <refspec>s may be specified. 45 46-p:: 47--prune:: 48 After fetching, remove any remote-tracking branches which 49 no longer exist on the remote. 50endif::git-pull[] 51 52ifdef::git-pull[] 53--no-tags:: 54endif::git-pull[] 55ifndef::git-pull[] 56-n:: 57--no-tags:: 58endif::git-pull[] 59 By default, tags that point at objects that are downloaded 60 from the remote repository are fetched and stored locally. 61 This option disables this automatic tag following. The default 62 behavior for a remote may be specified with the remote.<name>.tagopt 63 setting. See linkgit:git-config[1]. 64 65ifndef::git-pull[] 66-t:: 67--tags:: 68 This is a short-hand for giving `refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*` 69 refspec from the command line, to ask all tags to be fetched 70 and stored locally. Because this acts as an explicit 71 refspec, the default refspecs (configured with the 72 remote.$name.fetch variable) are overridden and not used. 73 74--recurse-submodules[=yes|on-demand|no]:: 75 This option controls if and under what conditions new commits of 76 populated submodules should be fetched too. It can be used as a 77 boolean option to completely disable recursion when set to 'no' or to 78 unconditionally recurse into all populated submodules when set to 79 'yes', which is the default when this option is used without any 80 value. Use 'on-demand' to only recurse into a populated submodule 81 when the superproject retrieves a commit that updates the submodule's 82 reference to a commit that isn't already in the local submodule 83 clone. 84 85--no-recurse-submodules:: 86 Disable recursive fetching of submodules (this has the same effect as 87 using the '--recurse-submodules=no' option). 88 89--submodule-prefix=<path>:: 90 Prepend <path> to paths printed in informative messages 91 such as "Fetching submodule foo". This option is used 92 internally when recursing over submodules. 93 94--recurse-submodules-default=[yes|on-demand]:: 95 This option is used internally to temporarily provide a 96 non-negative default value for the --recurse-submodules 97 option. All other methods of configuring fetch's submodule 98 recursion (such as settings in linkgit:gitmodules[5] and 99 linkgit:git-config[1]) override this option, as does 100 specifying --[no-]recurse-submodules directly. 101endif::git-pull[] 102 103-u:: 104--update-head-ok:: 105 By default 'git fetch' refuses to update the head which 106 corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the 107 check. This is purely for the internal use for 'git pull' 108 to communicate with 'git fetch', and unless you are 109 implementing your own Porcelain you are not supposed to 110 use it. 111 112--upload-pack <upload-pack>:: 113 When given, and the repository to fetch from is handled 114 by 'git fetch-pack', '--exec=<upload-pack>' is passed to 115 the command to specify non-default path for the command 116 run on the other end. 117 118ifndef::git-pull[] 119-q:: 120--quiet:: 121 Pass --quiet to git-fetch-pack and silence any other internally 122 used git commands. Progress is not reported to the standard error 123 stream. 124 125-v:: 126--verbose:: 127 Be verbose. 128endif::git-pull[] 129 130--progress:: 131 Progress status is reported on the standard error stream 132 by default when it is attached to a terminal, unless -q 133 is specified. This flag forces progress status even if the 134 standard error stream is not directed to a terminal.
