How does someone PULL all branches at one time

[Claudio Chiappetta]

Would like to to PULL all the Remote branches in the list at one time instead of pulling one at a time. I run this alot and if there is a way it would save me some hassle and time.

Hello! You can do this via a "Custom Action":

• Go to Tools > Options > Custom Actions
• Click "Add"
  • Menu caption: give this a name like "Pull all remote branches"
  • Make sure "Show Full Output" and "Run command silently" are unchecked so that you can debug your script
  • Script to run: make a new file called "pull_all.bat" or something like that. Edit the file to contain a script that does what you'd like to do (I'm not sure how to pull all remote branches so you'll need to figure out this part yourself)
  • Parameters: this should be $REPO
• Click "OK"
• You can now find your custom action under "Actions > Custom Actions"

For the .bat script, make sure you use the parameter you pass so that you're working in your repo when the command runs:

cd %1
git "pull all branches script"
