Our developer group has a shared git repository at git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:dev.
Each developer has established their own local repository by running:
git clone git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:dev
git config remote.origin.push master:refs/remotes/<username>/master
Each developer then does a `git pull` to update their master branch, merges
their changes from their local topic branches, and then does `git push` to
make the results available at git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:dev.
As the integrator, I have then been ssh'ing into the git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
machine, cd'ing to "dev" and doing:
git merge <username>/master
to incorporate their changes after running `git diff` to see what the changes
are.
My own development repository is set up identically to the other developers.
What I would like to do now is clone the git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:dev repository
on my local machine a second time, checkout a <username>/master branch in
that repository, and then use BBEdit's graphical diff to visually see the
changes between my own repository and what another developer has pushed to
the shared repository. I'll then merge them into my own developer repository
and push that to the shared repository for the rest of the developers to pull
from, so no longer will I merge by ssh'ing into the machine with the shared
repository.
The problem is, when I clone git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:dev, the various
<username>/master's aren't there. I have tried a bunch of different ways, but
they all give me errors. For example:
The default fetch refspec doesn't include the remotes - after all, you
normally don't want the origin for your origin ...
How can I access remote branches in a cloned repository on my local machine?
Try something like:
git config remote.origin.fetch +refs/remotes/*:+refs/remotes/*
git fetch
