git fetch

Download objects and refs from a remote repository. More information: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-fetch.

• Fetch the latest changes from the default remote upstream repository (if set):

git fetch

• Fetch new branches from a specific remote upstream repository:

git fetch {{remote_name}}

• Fetch the latest changes from all remote upstream repositories:

git fetch --all

• Also fetch tags from the remote upstream repository:

git fetch {{[-t|--tags]}}

• Delete local references to remote branches that have been deleted upstream:

git fetch {{[-p|--prune]}}

• Deepen current shallow branch by 2 commits:

git fetch --deepen 2

• Update the main branch without switching to it (equivalent to git pull):

git fetch {{origin}} main:main
