1-q:: 2--quiet:: 3 Pass --quiet to git-fetch-pack and silence any other internally 4 used programs. 5 6-v:: 7--verbose:: 8 Be verbose. 9 10-a:: 11--append:: 12 Append ref names and object names of fetched refs to the 13 existing contents of `.git/FETCH_HEAD`. Without this 14 option old data in `.git/FETCH_HEAD` will be overwritten. 15 16--upload-pack <upload-pack>:: 17 When given, and the repository to fetch from is handled 18 by 'git-fetch-pack', '--exec=<upload-pack>' is passed to 19 the command to specify non-default path for the command 20 run on the other end. 21 22-f:: 23--force:: 24 When `git-fetch` is used with `<rbranch>:<lbranch>` 25 refspec, it refuses to update the local branch 26 `<lbranch>` unless the remote branch `<rbranch>` it 27 fetches is a descendant of `<lbranch>`. This option 28 overrides that check. 29 30ifdef::git-pull[] 31--no-tags:: 32endif::git-pull[] 33ifndef::git-pull[] 34-n:: 35--no-tags:: 36endif::git-pull[] 37 By default, tags that point at objects that are downloaded 38 from the remote repository are fetched and stored locally. 39 This option disables this automatic tag following. 40 41-t:: 42--tags:: 43 Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch 44 heads are downloaded, but tags that do not point at 45 objects reachable from the branch heads that are being 46 tracked will not be fetched by this mechanism. This 47 flag lets all tags and their associated objects be 48 downloaded. 49 50-k:: 51--keep:: 52 Keep downloaded pack. 53 54-u:: 55--update-head-ok:: 56 By default `git-fetch` refuses to update the head which 57 corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the 58 check. This is purely for the internal use for `git-pull` 59 to communicate with `git-fetch`, and unless you are 60 implementing your own Porcelain you are not supposed to 61 use it. 62 63--depth=<depth>:: 64 Deepen the history of a 'shallow' repository created by 65 `git clone` with `--depth=<depth>` option (see linkgit:git-clone[1]) 66 by the specified number of commits.
