Undo set-branches on git remote

Question

I've currently set up my git remote to restrict which branches are fetched:

git remote set-branches myOrigin myBranch

This adds the proper entries to .git/config:

[remote "myOrigin"]
    fetch = +refs/heads/myBranch:refs/remotes/myOrigin/myBranch

Now I want to undo this, and go back to the default configuration:

[remote "myOrigin"]
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/myOrigin/*

How can I do this without manually modifying my .git/config? Is there a git command I can run?

Did you try `git remote set-branches myOrigin '*'`? – zigarn Dec 09 '17 at 07:00 — zigarn, Dec 09 '17 at 07:00

One of the solutions:

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