# Short answer:
# In the bare repository run:
git fetch origin refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*
# Where (according to ChatGPT):
#	- git fetch: This is a Git command used to retrieve new commits, branches,
#		and other objects from a remote repository into your local repository.
#		It's a way to synchronize your local repository with changes made in
#		the remote repository.
#	- origin: This is the name of the remote repository from which you're
#		fetching updates. In Git, "origin" is a common name for the default
#		remote repository when you clone a repository.
#	- refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*: This is a refspec that specifies which
#		references (branches in this case) to fetch from the remote repository
#		and where to store them locally. Let's break it down further:
#		- refs/heads/*: This part of the refspec on the left side specifies the
#			pattern of references to fetch from the remote repository. In this
#			case, it matches all branches under the refs/heads/ namespace,
#			which is where regular branches are located.
#		- :refs/heads/*: This part of the refspec on the right side specifies
#			where to store the fetched references locally. Similar to the
#			pattern on the left side, it places the fetched branches under the
#			refs/heads/ namespace in your local repository.
#		references to remote branches that have been deleted on the remote side
#	- In summary, the command is fetching all remote branches from the "origin"
#		remote repository and updating or creating corresponding local branches
#		to match the remote branches. The fetched branches will be stored in
#		the refs/heads/ namespace in your local repository. 
# Note, if you add --prune to a fetch command, any remote tracking branches
#	that have been removed on the remote repository (or were never pushed to it)
#	will be removed from your local repository to ensure that your local
#	tracking branches accurately reflect the current state of the remote
#	repository's branches. Don't do this if you have local worktrees / branches
#	that haven't been pushed to remote yet.
