   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.

  16--dry-run::
  17        Show what would be done, without making any changes.

  20-f::
  21--force::
  22        When 'git fetch' is used with `<rbranch>:<lbranch>`
  23        refspec, it refuses to update the local branch
  24        `<lbranch>` unless the remote branch `<rbranch>` it
  25        fetches is a descendant of `<lbranch>`.  This option
  26        overrides that check.
  27
  28-k::
  29--keep::
  30        Keep downloaded pack.
  31
  32ifndef::git-pull[]
  33--multiple::
  34        Allow several <repository> and <group> arguments to be
  35        specified. No <refspec>s may be specified.
  36
  37--prune::
  38        After fetching, remove any remote tracking branches which
  39        no longer exist on the remote.

  45ifndef::git-pull[]
  46-n::
  47--no-tags::
  48endif::git-pull[]
  49        By default, tags that point at objects that are downloaded
  50        from the remote repository are fetched and stored locally.
  51        This option disables this automatic tag following.
  52
  53-t::
  54--tags::
  55        Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch
  56        heads are downloaded, but tags that do not point at
  57        objects reachable from the branch heads that are being
  58        tracked will not be fetched by this mechanism.  This
  59        flag lets all tags and their associated objects be
  60        downloaded.
  61
  62-u::
  63--update-head-ok::
  64        By default 'git fetch' refuses to update the head which
  65        corresponds to the current branch.  This flag disables the
  66        check.  This is purely for the internal use for 'git pull'
  67        to communicate with 'git fetch', and unless you are
  68        implementing your own Porcelain you are not supposed to
  69        use it.
  70
  71--upload-pack <upload-pack>::
  72        When given, and the repository to fetch from is handled
  73        by 'git fetch-pack', '--exec=<upload-pack>' is passed to
  74        the command to specify non-default path for the command
  75        run on the other end.
  76

  78-q::
  79--quiet::
  80        Pass --quiet to git-fetch-pack and silence any other internally
  81        used git commands.
  82
  83-v::
  84--verbose::
  85        Be verbose.
