Single git command to localize all remote branches

Question

I want to create local branches for each remote branch

If I have 100 branches, it will not be practical.

So I do:

git branch -r

To see the list of all remote branches and create the following commands

git checkout -b AAAAA --no-track origin/AAAAA
git checkout -b BBBBB --no-track origin/BBBBB
git checkout -b CCCCC --no-track origin/CCCCC
git checkout -b DDDDD --no-track origin/DDDDD
...

It does all I need. But if I have 100 projects, it is still a tedious task.

Is there any single git command that does this job automatically for me?

Note: The option --no-track is very vital for me. This is because the repositories are converted from svn to git. So, connecting to origin is not possible.

Answer 1

I would do it like this, assuming it's origin :

git branch -r | grep origin | sed 's/.*origin\///' | while read branch; do
    git checkout -b $branch --no-track origin/$branch
done

Or, taking advantage of the way git stores remote references:

ls -1 .git/refs/remotes/origin/ | while read branch; do
    git checkout -b $branch --no-track origin/$branch
done
