 +
 +  git remote set-branches --add origin another-branch
 +
 +Or to de-single-branch-ize a clone:
 +
 +  git remote set-branches origin "*"

 +If others have made changes in the branch you're working on, you can try to rebase directly onto the latest from the remote:

 +====== Applying changes in a stash to a changed file =====
 +
 +When ''git stash apply'' doesn't work: Show the stash changes and pipe that to patch. Now you have a patch you can apply.

 +====== Limit scope of huge repos ======
 +
 +Create a .gitconfig file at the base of your repo:
 +<file git .gitconfig>
 +[remote "origin"]
 +    fetch = +refs/heads/main:refs/remotes/origin/main
 +    fetch = +refs/heads/user/dblume/*:refs/remotes/origin/user/dblume/*
 +    tagopt = --no-tags
 +</file>
 +
 +Or explicitly specify your flags:
 +<code bash>
 +git fetch --no-tags origin main
 +git pull --no-tags origin main
 +git submodule foreach git pull --no-tags origin main
 +</code>
 +
 +The submodule one is an optimization for the more general:
 +<code bash>
 +git submodule update --recursive  # Add --init before --recursive on first time
 +</code>
 +
 +====== git vim mergetool on macOS ======
 +
 +File /usr/local/Cellar/git/2.38.1/libexec/git-core/mergetools/vimdiff has this line:
 +
 +<file bash /usr/local/Cellar/git/2.38.1/libexec/git-core/mergetools/vimdiff>
 +FINAL_CMD="-c \"set hidden diffopt-=hiddenoff | $CMD | tabfirst\""
 +</file>
 +But vim has a problem with "diffopt-=hiddenoff"
