# Git auto-fetch
Automatically fetches all changes from all remotes while you are working in a git-initialized directory.
To use it, add `git-auto-fetch` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
```shellplugins=(... git-auto-fetch)```
## Usage
Every time the command prompt is shown all remotes will be fetched in the background. By default,`git-auto-fetch` will be triggered only if the last auto-fetch was done at least 60 seconds ago.You can change the fetch interval in your .zshrc:
```shGIT_AUTO_FETCH_INTERVAL=1200 # in seconds```
A log of `git fetch --all` will be saved in `.git/FETCH_LOG`.
## Toggle auto-fetch per folder
If you are using a mobile connection or for any other reason you can disable git-auto-fetchfor any folder:
```shell$ cd to/your/project$ git-auto-fetchdisabled$ git-auto-fetchenabled```
## Caveats
Automatically fetching all changes defeats the purpose of `git push --force-with-lease`,and makes it behave like `git push --force` in some cases. For example:
Consider that you made some changes and possibly rebased some stuff, which means you'llneed to use `--force-with-lease` to overwrite the remote history of a branch. Between thetime when you make the changes (maybe do a `git log`) and the time when you `git push`,it's possible that someone else updates the branch you're working on.
If `git-auto-fetch` triggers then, you'll have fetched the remote changes without knowingit, and even though you're running the push with `--force-with-lease`, git will overwritethe recent changes because you already have them in your local repository. The[`git push --force-with-lease` docs](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-push) talk about possiblesolutions to this problem.
