How to fetch all branches and add trackers after cloning a repo in git

1. Clone a repo

First of all clone a git repo to a local directory.

git clone git@yoursite.org:username/repo.git localFolder

2. Run the bash script

Now run this bash script in your terminal

#!/bin/bash
for branch in `git branch -a | grep remotes | grep -v HEAD | grep -v master`; do
    git branch --track ${branch##*/} $branch
done

All done, have fun with your repo now :)
