The "git fetch --all" command is used to retrieve all the latest changes from all remote repositories.
Here is what each part of the command does:
-
"git fetch" is a command that downloads new commits, branches, or tags from a remote repository into your local repository. It updates the remote tracking branches to match the latest state of the remote repository. It does not modify your local branches.
-
"--all" is an option that indicates fetching from all remote repositories. By default, "git fetch" only fetches from the remote that is set as the upstream for the current branch. However, adding "--all" fetches updates from all the remotes configured in your local repository.
In summary, "git fetch --all" fetches the latest changes from all remote repositories and updates the remote tracking branches in your local repository.
