current=$(git branch --show-current) ; for brname in $(git branch -r | grep origin | grep -v master | grep -v HEAD | awk '{gsub(/^[^\/]+//,"",$1); print $1}'); do echo git checkout $brname ; git checkout $brname ; echo git pull ; git pull ; done ; echo git checkout $current ;git checkout $current

for abranch in $(git branch -a | grep -v HEAD | grep remotes | sed "s/remotes\/origin\///g"); do git checkout $abranch ; done
This statement will checkout all branches when executed in local repo location. I use it frequently.

I use this:
git branch -r | grep -v '\->' | sed -e 's/^origin\///' | while read remote; do echo "parsing branch $remote"; branch=${remote/origin\//}; git checkout "$branch"; git reset --hard $remote ; git pull; echo "$remote done";done

I think git is still being developed. Its like another programming language on its own. I'd like all GUI usage with drag and drop in the future

Hi,
According to the doc on pull, the --all option only affects the fetch part of the pull command.
So isn't it kind of useless to do a fetch --all before a pull --all ?
Also I have doubts that git pull --all does indeed pull all remote branch and not just the current one.
What do you think ?

Confirmed. That is useless. Any working alternative?

git branch -r | grep -v '->' | tr -d 'origin/' | while read remote; do echo "parsing branch $remote"; git checkout "$remote"; git reset --hard $remote ; git pull; echo "$remote done";done

Your tr command is incorrect, as it deletes characters in the list. You want sed.

$ echo "origin/docubranch" | tr -d 'origin/'

$ echo "origin/docubranch" | sed -e 's/^origin\///'
docubranch
