Git pull all remote branches

git-pull-all

#!/usr/bin/env bash

git branch -r | grep -v '\->' | while read remote; do git branch --track "${remote#origin/}" "$remote"; done
git fetch --all
git pull --all

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.

Thank you for this! It was very helpful.

thank you

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

@jcwren thanks, I fixed it

This was so helpful! Thank you!

great

Going to come in with a controversial new option:

git branch --remote | cut -c 10- | xargs -d\\n -n1 git switch -f

Just make sure you've committed or stashed all of your changes. This does assume that your remote is called origin, if it's not, change the number of digits getting slashed by cut.

Mine own approach to pull and sync:

• https://github.com/andry81/gitcmd (implementation, not interactive usage)
  • git_pull_remote*.sh
  • git_sync_remotes.sh
• https://github.com/andry81/gituserbin (wrappers, interactive usage)
  • pull-remote*.*
  • sync-remotes.*
