git fetch all branches- How to fetch all Git branches?

DevOps

I cloned a Git repository, which contains about five branches. However, when I do git branch I only see one of them:

$ git branch

* master

I know that I can do git branch -a to see all the branches, but how would I pull all the branches locally so when I do git branch, it shows the following?

$ git branch

* master

* staging

* etc...

The command to list all the branches is,



git branch -r



If you want to check them as local branches,



git checkout -b LocalName origin/remote-branch-name

The git fetch command will be able to fetch all the branches from all remotes.



git fetch --all



This command will not update or create local branches. 



If you want to list all the remote branches, 



git pull --all
