Soft reset git bare branches

Question

I have a set of GIT repositories that I always have different activities on differrent branches and they are all pushed to github

the activities are linked to Redmine and would trigger Redmine to pick up the commits once a push happens. Since the Redmine is not setup to be on the cloud and therefore I can't use the fancy automated github hook to pick up the commits, I have setup the Redmine hook to do a fetch and soft reset to is bare repository when every time a ticket is update.

The problem i have then is the processing time because this is what I do each time:

# to update master branch
git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/master
git fetch origin master
git reset --soft FETCH_HEAD
# to update the other branch
git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/bug_branch_n
git fetch origin bug_branch_n
git reset --soft FETCH_HEAD

With this, I am doing what I want, but the fetch is really taking a bit of time to perform. How can I acutally fetch only once for this exercise and soft reset to the branch that needs updates?

Thanks for koppen on Github who share the code for Redmine Github hook. The solution is to do this: git fetch origin +refs/heads/*:refs/heads/* one command to fetch and update all the branches!
