If I have a list of 48 remote branches for a repo, I can do
git branch -a
To list all of them, how do I grep
through those to only return the ones whose name contains Theme
?
If you have a single remote repository, then you can omit all arguments. just need to run git fetch , which will retrieve all branches and updates, and after that, run git checkout <branch> which will create a local copy of the branch because all branches are already loaded in your system.
To view your remote branches, simply pass the -r flag to the git branch command. You can inspect remote branches with the usual git checkout and git log commands. If you approve the changes a remote branch contains, you can merge it into a local branch with a normal git merge .
Just use the pipe operator (|):
git branch -a | grep Theme
