git checkout-all-branches

git checkout-all-branches.sh

#!/bin/bash

#Whenever you clone a repo, you do not clone all of its branches by default.
#If you wish to do so, use the following script:

for branch in `git branch -a | grep remotes | grep -v HEAD | grep -v master | grep -v main `; do
   git branch --track ${branch#remotes/origin/} $branch
done

Nice little script! After using it myself, I encountered a neat little git command which does all of this for you during the git clone step.
You can use git clone --mirror REPO_URL to clone all branches instantly.

It works like a charm! Thanks a lot!

it`s look like good. I will try it 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

You probably want to add grep -v main as well.

Added, thanks!

Here is a slightly more verbose version that fixes some issues with the original...

• fetches refs so branches that exist on the remote but not locally are tracked
• works no matter what your default branch is named (i.e. not just main/master)
• works even if you have git configured to display branches in color
• won't display an error if branch already exists locally

git fetch
default_branch=$(git remote show origin | sed -n '/HEAD branch/s/.*: //p')
for remote_branch in $(git branch --all --no-color | grep remotes | grep -v "${default_branch}"); do
    branch="${remote_branch#remotes/origin/}"
    git branch --track "${branch}" "${remote_branch}" 2>&1 | grep -v "already exists"
done
