how to clone all branches include remote branches

hi,

I'd like to know how to get all remote(grandparent) branches by clone
a remote repo . for example:
remote repo ABC contains below branches:
master
stable/main
dev/main

while master is the local branch in remote repo and stable/main &
dev/main is two remote branches of that remote repo, when I clone from
ABC repo, I can only get a copy of ABC's local branch master, how can
I get those two remote(grandparent) branches also copied?

BRs,
Kevin

You could (if your .git/config) already contains the remote simply add a 
line:
fetch = +refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/<remote-name>/remotes/*

The double remotes is used so that no remote-remote-branch can overwrite 
your tracking branch with the same name.

Hope that helped,
Jojo
