Git Hub Clone All Branches At Once
git, github
Solution
(1) Inside git local repostitory, create a new sh file
touch getAllBranches.sh
vi getAllBranches.sh
(2) Insert the below content to `getAllBranches.sh` file:
for branch in `git branch -a | grep remotes | grep -v HEAD | grep -v master `; do
git branch --track ${branch#remotes/origin/} $branch
done
(3) Get all branches:
chmod +x getAllBranches.sh
sh getAllBranches.sh
(4) Check result at local repository:
git branch
For example, I use repository: https://github.com/donhuvy/spring-boot
As you can see, I have fetched all branches to local machine:
Problem
I'm trying to clone an entire repository onto my machine using linux. I used ``` git clone <url> ``` I then went into the folder where it was downloaded and typed ``` git branch ``` in the terminal. It's only showing me master and not other branches which were in the remote repository. How do I clone all branches? I know that for each branch in the remote I can separately use ``` git checkout -b <name of local branch> origin/<name of remote branch> ``` but is there any way other than that?
