Git pull for all branches in local repository

Question

Seemingly git pull does fetch and merge only for the current branch, is there an easy way to pull for all branches in local repo?

Answer 1

Try this

for remote in `git branch -r`; do git branch --track $remote; done
git fetch --all
git pull --all

Answer 2

You can use git-up for this. It will automate the process of fetching and rebasing all locally-tracked remote branches. You don't have to type multiple commands again and again. You can achieve this in a single command.

Installation:

gem install git-up

Usage:

git up

This command will then fetch and rebase all the locally-tracked remote branches automatically.
