how to create local branches for all remote branches in GIT

Question

How to create local branches for all the remote branches available

I can able to create a local branch from a remote branch one by one.

Is there any command available to create local branches from all the remote branches available.

(example: i have 50 branches in remote, i wants to create 50 local branches for those remote branches)

This may not work - git post-1.9.1

Using bash:

for remote in `git branch -r `; do git branch --track $remote; done

Update the branches, assuming there are no changes on your local tracking branches:

for remote in `git branch -r `; do git checkout $remote ; git pull; done

Ignore the ambiguous refname warnings, git seems to prefer the local branch as it should.
