<dt class="hdlist1">
-v
</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--verbose
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Be a little more verbose and show remote url after name.
        NOTE: This must be placed between <code>remote</code> and <code>subcommand</code>.
</p>

<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_commands">COMMANDS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>With no arguments, shows a list of existing remotes.  Several
subcommands are available to perform operations on the remotes.</p></div>
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>add</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Adds a remote named &lt;name&gt; for the repository at
&lt;url&gt;.  The command <code>git fetch &lt;name&gt;</code> can then be used to create and
update remote-tracking branches &lt;name&gt;/&lt;branch&gt;.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With <code>-f</code> option, <code>git fetch &lt;name&gt;</code> is run immediately after
the remote information is set up.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With <code>--tags</code> option, <code>git fetch &lt;name&gt;</code> imports every tag from the
remote repository.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With <code>--no-tags</code> option, <code>git fetch &lt;name&gt;</code> does not import tags from
the remote repository.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With <code>-t &lt;branch&gt;</code> option, instead of the default glob
refspec for the remote to track all branches under
the <code>refs/remotes/&lt;name&gt;/</code> namespace, a refspec to track only <code>&lt;branch&gt;</code>
is created.  You can give more than one <code>-t &lt;branch&gt;</code> to track
multiple branches without grabbing all branches.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With <code>-m &lt;master&gt;</code> option, a symbolic-ref <code>refs/remotes/&lt;name&gt;/HEAD</code> is set
up to point at remote&#8217;s <code>&lt;master&gt;</code> branch. See also the set-head command.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>When a fetch mirror is created with <code>--mirror=fetch</code>, the refs will not
be stored in the <em>refs/remotes/</em> namespace, but rather everything in
<em>refs/</em> on the remote will be directly mirrored into <em>refs/</em> in the
local repository. This option only makes sense in bare repositories,
because a fetch would overwrite any local commits.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>When a push mirror is created with <code>--mirror=push</code>, then <code>git push</code>
will always behave as if <code>--mirror</code> was passed.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>rename</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Rename the remote named &lt;old&gt; to &lt;new&gt;. All remote-tracking branches and
configuration settings for the remote are updated.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>In case &lt;old&gt; and &lt;new&gt; are the same, and &lt;old&gt; is a file under
<code>$GIT_DIR/remotes</code> or <code>$GIT_DIR/branches</code>, the remote is converted to
the configuration file format.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>remove</em>
</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>rm</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Remove the remote named &lt;name&gt;. All remote-tracking branches and
configuration settings for the remote are removed.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>set-head</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Sets or deletes the default branch (i.e. the target of the
symbolic-ref <code>refs/remotes/&lt;name&gt;/HEAD</code>) for
the named remote. Having a default branch for a remote is not required,
but allows the name of the remote to be specified in lieu of a specific
branch. For example, if the default branch for <code>origin</code> is set to
<code>master</code>, then <code>origin</code> may be specified wherever you would normally
specify <code>origin/master</code>.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With <code>-d</code>, the symbolic ref <code>refs/remotes/&lt;name&gt;/HEAD</code> is deleted.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With <code>-a</code>, the remote is queried to determine its <code>HEAD</code>, then the
symbolic-ref <code>refs/remotes/&lt;name&gt;/HEAD</code> is set to the same branch. e.g., if the remote
<code>HEAD</code> is pointed at <code>next</code>, "<code>git remote set-head origin -a</code>" will set
the symbolic-ref <code>refs/remotes/origin/HEAD</code> to <code>refs/remotes/origin/next</code>. This will
only work if <code>refs/remotes/origin/next</code> already exists; if not it must be
fetched first.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Use <code>&lt;branch&gt;</code> to set the symbolic-ref <code>refs/remotes/&lt;name&gt;/HEAD</code> explicitly. e.g., "git
remote set-head origin master" will set the symbolic-ref <code>refs/remotes/origin/HEAD</code> to
<code>refs/remotes/origin/master</code>. This will only work if
<code>refs/remotes/origin/master</code> already exists; if not it must be fetched first.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>set-branches</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Changes the list of branches tracked by the named remote.
This can be used to track a subset of the available remote branches
after the initial setup for a remote.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The named branches will be interpreted as if specified with the
<code>-t</code> option on the <em>git remote add</em> command line.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With <code>--add</code>, instead of replacing the list of currently tracked
branches, adds to that list.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>set-url</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Changes URL remote points to. Sets first URL remote points to matching
regex &lt;oldurl&gt; (first URL if no &lt;oldurl&gt; is given) to &lt;newurl&gt;. If
&lt;oldurl&gt; doesn&#8217;t match any URL, error occurs and nothing is changed.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With <em>--push</em>, push URLs are manipulated instead of fetch URLs.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With <em>--add</em>, instead of changing some URL, new URL is added.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With <em>--delete</em>, instead of changing some URL, all URLs matching
regex &lt;url&gt; are deleted. Trying to delete all non-push URLs is an
error.</p></div>

<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>show</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Gives some information about the remote &lt;name&gt;.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With <code>-n</code> option, the remote heads are not queried first with
<code>git ls-remote &lt;name&gt;</code>; cached information is used instead.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>prune</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Deletes all stale remote-tracking branches under &lt;name&gt;.
These stale branches have already been removed from the remote repository
referenced by &lt;name&gt;, but are still locally available in
"remotes/&lt;name&gt;".
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With <code>--dry-run</code> option, report what branches will be pruned, but do not
actually prune them.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>update</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Fetch updates for a named set of remotes in the repository as defined by
remotes.&lt;group&gt;.  If a named group is not specified on the command line,
the configuration parameter remotes.default will be used; if
remotes.default is not defined, all remotes which do not have the
configuration parameter remote.&lt;name&gt;.skipDefaultUpdate set to true will
be updated.  (See <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>).
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With <code>--prune</code> option, prune all the remotes that are updated.</p></div>
