Git fetch not updating origin/master

Question

When I do git fetch, nothing happens, even though I can see that my origin/master is behind the one on GitHub. The only output I get from git fetch is

$ git fetch origin From github.com:myname/myrepo * branch master -> FETCH_HEAD

The output I want is

$ git fetch From github.com:myname/myrepo 6a6a103..77edb9d master -> origin/master * [new branch] feature -> origin/feature

when I run git ls-remote:

$ git ls-remote From [email protected]:myname/myrepo.git 77edb9d40be3a75bd25288ab375ef16e009267fa HEAD 77edb9d40be3a75bd25288ab375ef16e009267fa refs/heads/master <-- latest 9f2c06129eefef3f1cdc96499058d7b58e2ad0b6 refs/heads/feature

but git show-ref gives me

$ git show-ref e4d894a2db19c3dbbdb946b25142c981695e0790 refs/heads/master 9f2c06129eefef3f1cdc96499058d7b58e2ad0b6 refs/heads/feature 6a6a10322110a690044e267eb7644613057dd932 refs/remotes/origin/master <-- old!

Why won't git fetch do anything?

If there is a way to fix this via the command line?

You can use a git config command (to fetch again all remote branches):

git config remote.origin.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*"

origin's refspec is hosed. The refspec is the part of the remote configuration that tells git what to fetch and how. It is described in more detail here.

In .git/config there is a section

[remote "origin"] url = [email protected]:myname/myrepo.git

This should look like

[remote "origin"] url = [email protected]:myname/myrepo.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

If there is a way to fix this via the command line, I am not aware of it. I also do not know why this happened.
