Q71 / 100
What is the difference between "git fetch --all" and "git fetch origin"?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) "git fetch --all" fetches updates from all configured remotes, while "git fetch origin" (or just "git fetch" with a single remote) only fetches from the remote named "origin"
A
Correct Answer
"git fetch --all" fetches updates from all configured remotes, while "git fetch origin" (or just "git fetch" with a single remote) only fetches from the remote named "origin"
Explanation
Most repositories only have one remote ("origin"), so the two commands behave the same in that case, but "--all" becomes meaningful when multiple remotes (e.g. "origin" and "upstream") are configured.
