| git-remote - manage set of tracked repositories |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| [verse] |
| 'git-remote' |

| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| |
| Manage the set of repositories ("remotes") whose branches you track. |
| |
| With no arguments, shows a list of existing remotes. |
| |
| In the second form, adds a remote named <name> for the repository at |
| <url>. The command `git fetch <name>` can then be used to create and |
| update remote-tracking branches <name>/<branch>. |
| |
| In the third form, gives some information about the remote <name>. |
| |
| The remote configuration is achieved using the `remote.origin.url` and |
| `remote.origin.fetch` configuration variables. (See |
| gitlink:git-repo-config[1]). |
| |
| Examples |
| -------- |
| |
| Add a new remote, fetch, and check out a branch from it: |
| |
| ------------ |
| $ git remote |
| origin |
| $ git branch -r |
| origin/master |
| $ git remote add linux-nfs git://linux-nfs.org/pub/nfs-2.6.git |
| $ git remote |
