 <h2>NAME</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>git-remote -
  manage set of tracked repositories
 </p>
 </div>
 </div>
 <h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="verseblock">
 <div class="content"><em>git-remote</em>
 <em>git-remote</em> add [-t &lt;branch&gt;] [-m &lt;branch&gt;] [-f] &lt;name&gt; &lt;url&gt;
 <em>git-remote</em> show &lt;name&gt;
 <em>git-remote</em> prune &lt;name&gt;
 <em>git-remote</em> update [group]</div></div>
 </div>
 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>Manage the set of repositories ("remotes") whose branches you track.</p>
 </div>
 <h2>COMMANDS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>With no arguments, shows a list of existing remotes. Several
 subcommands are available to perform operations on the remotes.</p>
 <dl>
 <dt>
 <em>add</em>
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
 Adds a remote named &lt;name&gt; for the repository at
 &lt;url&gt;. The command <tt>git fetch &lt;name&gt;</tt> can then be used to create and
 update remote-tracking branches &lt;name&gt;/&lt;branch&gt;.
 </p>
 <p>With <tt>-f</tt> option, <tt>git fetch &lt;name&gt;</tt> is run immediately after
 the remote information is set up.</p>
 <p>With <tt>-t &lt;branch&gt;</tt> option, instead of the default glob
 refspec for the remote to track all branches under
 <tt>$GIT_DIR/remotes/&lt;name&gt;/</tt>, a refspec to track only <tt>&lt;branch&gt;</tt>
 is created. You can give more than one <tt>-t &lt;branch&gt;</tt> to track
 multiple branches without grabbing all branches.</p>
 <p>With <tt>-m &lt;master&gt;</tt> option, <tt>$GIT_DIR/remotes/&lt;name&gt;/HEAD</tt> is set
 up to point at remote's <tt>&lt;master&gt;</tt> branch instead of whatever
 branch the <tt>HEAD</tt> at the remote repository actually points at.</p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 <em>show</em>
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
 Gives some information about the remote &lt;name&gt;.
 </p>
 <p>With <tt>-n</tt> option, the remote heads are not queried first with
 <tt>git ls-remote &lt;name&gt;</tt>; cached information is used instead.</p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 <em>prune</em>
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
 Deletes all stale 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>
 <p>With <tt>-n</tt> option, the remote heads are not confirmed first with <tt>git
 ls-remote &lt;name&gt;</tt>; cached information is used instead. Use with
 caution.</p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 <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 get used; if
 remotes.default is not defined, all remotes which do not 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>
 </dd>
 </dl>
 </div>
 <h2>DISCUSSION</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>The remote configuration is achieved using the <tt>remote.origin.url</tt> and
 <tt>remote.origin.fetch</tt> configuration variables. (See
 <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>).</p>
 </div>
 <h2>Examples</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <ul>
 <li>
 <p>
 Add a new remote, fetch, and check out a branch from it
 </p>
 <div class="listingblock">
 <div class="content">
