Git - Automatically fast forward all tracking branches on pull

Question

I\'ve set up tracking branches with the --track option, and when I do a git pull on master, it fetches all branches to origin/br

Answer 1

If you really want to fast forward all local branches that are tracking remote branches you might want to consider adding this as an alias to your ~/.gitconfig:

[alias]
    pull-all = !"for b in $(git for-each-ref refs/heads --format='%(refname)') ; do git checkout ${b#refs/heads/} ; git pull --ff-only ; done"

You can then run git pull-all, it will iterate through your local branches and run a git pull --ff-only on each.
