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 .
Update your remote if you still haven't done so:
$ git remote update
$ git branch -r
The remote section also specifies fetch rules. You could add something like this into it to fetch all branches from the remote:
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
(Or replace origin with bitbucket.)
Please read about it here: 10.5 Git Internals - The Refspec
If you clone with the --depth parameter, it sets .git/config not to fetch all branches, but only master.
You can simply omit the parameter or update the configuration file from
fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
to
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
I had the same issue. It seems the easiest solution is to just remove the remote, readd it, and fetch.
