git remote

git remote is used to manage the repositories that are tracked.

git remote add

Adds a remote repo named <name> for the repository at <URL>.

Syntax:

git remote add [-t <branch>] [-m <master>] [-f] [--[no-]tags] [--mirror=(fetch|push)] <name> <URL>

Example:

git remote add <other-user> https://github.com/other-user/repo-name.git

git remote add -t <branch>

By default, git remote add tracks all branches in a repo. However, there are times when you only want to track a specific branch. In this case, you can use the -t <branch> option to specify a branch to track:

git remote add <name> <url> -t <branch>

信息

You can specify more than one -t <branch> to track multiple desired branches.
