List branches of particular remote in git

I have added multiple remote in one project. How can check specific branch and push code on that remote with branch.

For Example.

origin  https://[email protected]/username/repo.git (fetch)
origin  https://[email protected]/username/repo.git (push)
stash   http://[email protected]/scm/omed/repo.git (fetch)
stash   http://[email protected]/scm/omed/repo.git (push)

Here two remote added. currently i got only origin branch not stash branch.

I want to list all the branches for particular remote.

When I do the git branch -a I only see branches from origin

I need command for listing down stash remote branches.

Based on Ævar's response to me asking on the Git list: https://public-inbox.org/git/[email protected]/

Is there a command or simple simple invocation of branch, show-ref, for-each-ref, etc that can be give a branch pattern and remote name to quickly filter down the list of potential branches to just one or two 24-line screens?

That's:

git branch -a -l '<remote>/<pattern>'
git for-each-ref 'refs/remotes/<remote>/<pattern>'

The latter will conflate with any local branches you happen to have prefixed with .

The reason this isn't some easy mode in some command is because there's no hard notion that a given remote "owns" a given set of RTB's. It's just convention, but they can and do overlap sometimes.

Remember to use the appropriate * elements into the patterns. It's not a sub-string search.

This Steps follow.

1) Fetch the remote information. stash in this case is the remote name.

git fetch stash

2) Display remote branches

git branch -a

3) Now you can create local branch which is tracked by remote branch like following.

git checkout -b <branche-name>  stash/<branch-name>

4) Pull or push using the remote name

git pull stash <branch-name>
git push stash <branch-name>
