Andersonlimahw Git Fetch Skill
Download objects and refs from remote repositories without merging.
Capabilities
- Fetch from origin:
git fetch origin - Fetch all remotes:
git fetch --all - Fetch specific branch:
git fetch origin <branch> - Fetch with tags:
git fetch --tags - Fetch and prune:
git fetch --prune(remove stale remote-tracking branches) - Fetch with depth:
git fetch --depth <n>(shallow fetch) - Fetch specific refspec:
git fetch origin <src>:<dst> - Dry run:
git fetch --dry-run - Fetch all:

Usage
Triggered when user says "fetch", "git fetch", "check remote", "sync remote branches".
Safer than git pull — inspect fetched changes before merging.
Always used before git log <remote>/<branch> to check remote state.
