When does Git refresh the list of remote branches?
Using git branch --all shows all remote and local branches. When does Git refresh this list?
On pull/push? And how do I refresh it using Git Bash?
git ls-remote might be interesting here.
git fetch before git branch --all
git pull --all --prune does the trick for me
To update the local list of remote branches:
git remote update origin --prune
To show all local and remote branches that (local) Git knows about:
git branch -a
The OP did not ask for cleanup for all remotes, rather for all branches of default remote.
So git fetch --prune is what should be used.
Setting git config remote.origin.prune true makes --prune automatic. In that case just git fetch will also prune stale remote branches from the local copy. See also Automatic prune with Git fetch or pull.
Note that this does not clean local branches that are no longer tracking a remote branch. See How to prune local tracking branches that do not exist on remote anymore for that.
git fetch -p
I believe that if you run git branch --all from Bash that the list of remote and local branches you see will reflect what your local Git "knows" about at the time you run the command. Because your Git is always up to date with regard to the local branches in your system, the list of local branches will always be accurate.
However, for remote branches this need not be the case. Your local Git only knows about remote branches which it has seen in the last fetch (or pull). So it is possible that you might run git branch --all and not see a new remote branch which appeared after the last time you fetched or pulled.
To ensure that your local and remote branch list be up to date you can do a git fetch before running git branch --all.
For further information, the "remote" branches which appear when you run git branch --all are not really remote at all; they are actually local. For example, suppose there be a branch on the remote called feature which you have pulled at least once into your local Git. You will see origin/feature listed as a branch when you run git branch --all. But this branch is actually a local Git branch. When you do git fetch origin, this tracking branch gets updated with any new changes from the remote. This is why your local state can get stale, because there may be new remote branches, or your tracking branches can become stale.
git fetch did it.
git fetch doesn't work for me, need add --prune. Btw, I'm not downvoter ;)
git fetch doesn't remove deleted remote branches. That's probably why some people downvoted
Use git fetch to fetch all latest created branches.
git fetch did not change anything for me with git 2.17.1. Which version and options have you been using?
--prune or git config remote.NAME.prune true for this to solve OP question
If you are using Eclipse,
Open "Git Repositories" Find your Repository. Open up "Branches" then "Remote Tracking".

git remote update origin --pruneis what I was looking for thxgit remote update, and the accepted answer, which usesgit fetch, see heregit fetchdid not remove my local cache of remote branches. Only--prunewas able to clean it all up.git config remote.origin.prune truegit remote prune originhas the same effect and you type less.
