DESCRIPTION
-----------
-v::
--verbose::
Be a little more verbose and show remote url after name.
+ NOTE: This must be placed between `remote` and `subcommand`.
COMMANDS
multiple branches without grabbing all branches.
+
With `-m <master>` option, `$GIT_DIR/remotes/<name>/HEAD` is set
-up to point at remote's `<master>` branch instead of whatever
-branch the `HEAD` at the remote repository actually points at.
+up to point at remote's `<master>` branch. See also the set-head command.
+
In mirror mode, enabled with `\--mirror`, the refs will not be stored
in the 'refs/remotes/' namespace, but in 'refs/heads/'. This option
Remove the remote named <name>. All remote tracking branches and
configuration settings for the remote are removed.
+'set-head'::
+
+Sets or deletes the default branch (`$GIT_DIR/remotes/<name>/HEAD`) for
+the named remote. Having a default branch for a remote is not required,
+but allows the name of the remote to be specified in lieu of a specific
+branch. For example, if the default branch for `origin` is set to
+`master`, then `origin` may be specified wherever you would normally
+specify `origin/master`.
++
+With `-d`, `$GIT_DIR/remotes/<name>/HEAD` is deleted.
++
+With `-a`, the remote is queried to determine its `HEAD`, then
+`$GIT_DIR/remotes/<name>/HEAD` is set to the same branch. e.g., if the remote
+`HEAD` is pointed at `next`, "`git remote set-head origin -a`" will set
+`$GIT_DIR/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD` to `refs/remotes/origin/next`. This will
+only work if `refs/remotes/origin/next` already exists; if not it must be
+fetched first.
++
+Use `<branch>` to set `$GIT_DIR/remotes/<name>/HEAD` explicitly. e.g., "git
+remote set-head origin master" will set `$GIT_DIR/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD` to
+`refs/remotes/origin/master`. This will only work if
+`refs/remotes/origin/master` already exists; if not it must be fetched first.
++
+
+'set-url'::
+
+Changes URL remote points to. Sets first URL remote points to matching
+regex <oldurl> (first URL if no <oldurl> is given) to <newurl>. If
+<oldurl> doesn't match any URL, error occurs and nothing is changed.
++
+With '--push', push URLs are manipulated instead of fetch URLs.
++
+With '--add', instead of changing some URL, new URL is added.
++
+With '--delete', instead of changing some URL, all URLs matching
+regex <url> are deleted. Trying to delete all non-push URLs is an
+error.
+
'show'::
Gives some information about the remote <name>.
referenced by <name>, but are still locally available in
"remotes/<name>".
+
-With `--dry-run` option, report what branches will be pruned, but do no
+With `--dry-run` option, report what branches will be pruned, but do not
actually prune them.
'update'::
Fetch updates for a named set of remotes in the repository as defined by
remotes.<group>. If a named group is not specified on the command line,
-the configuration parameter remotes.default will get used; if
+the configuration parameter remotes.default will be used; if
remotes.default is not defined, all remotes which do not have the
configuration parameter remote.<name>.skipDefaultUpdate set to true will
be updated. (See linkgit:git-config[1]).
++
+With `--prune` option, prune all the remotes that are updated.
