git fetch with path instead of remote
问题 I understand the idea of running git fetch <remote> , because the remote branches are then available with git checkout <remote>/<branch> . But how does it work if I just run git fetch path/to/other/repo How can I checkout the corresponding branches? Note that the operation runs silently (even with --verbose ), and that no new branch is created. edit : just to be clear: I perfectly understand how git works with remotes. I'm just curious about this alternate syntax git fetch path/to/remote , or
