   3 REMOTES
   4 -------

   6 In addition to the above, as a short-hand, the name of a
   7 file in `$GIT_DIR/remotes` directory can be given; the
   8 named file should be in the following format:
   9
  10 ------------
  11         URL: one of the above URL format
  12         Push: <refspec>
  13         Pull: <refspec>
  14
  15 ------------
  16
  17 Then such a short-hand is specified in place of
  18 <repository> without <refspec> parameters on the command
  19 line, <refspec> specified on `Push:` lines or `Pull:`
  20 lines are used for `git-push` and `git-fetch`/`git-pull`,
  21 respectively.  Multiple `Push:` and `Pull:` lines may
  22 be specified for additional branch mappings.
  23
  24 Or, equivalently, in the `$GIT_DIR/config` (note the use
  25 of `fetch` instead of `Pull:`):
  26
  27 ------------
  28         [remote "<remote>"]
  29                 url = <url>
  30                 push = <refspec>
  31                 fetch = <refspec>
  32
  33 ------------
  34
  35 The name of a file in `$GIT_DIR/branches` directory can be
  36 specified as an older notation short-hand; the named
  37 file should contain a single line, a URL in one of the
  38 above formats, optionally followed by a hash `#` and the
  39 name of remote head (URL fragment notation).
  40 `$GIT_DIR/branches/<remote>` file that stores a <url>
  41 without the fragment is equivalent to have this in the
  42 corresponding file in the `$GIT_DIR/remotes/` directory.
  43
  44 ------------
  45         URL: <url>
  46         Pull: refs/heads/master:<remote>
  47
  48 ------------
  49
  50 while having `<url>#<head>` is equivalent to
  51
  52 ------------
  53         URL: <url>
  54         Pull: refs/heads/<head>:<remote>
  55 ------------
