Retrieves the latest state from the remote, but does not touch the working tree. The toolbar’s Fetch button opens the modal.
  • All remotes (—all) fetches from every registered remote. Turning it on replaces the remote dropdown with the plain text all remotes.
  • Tags (—tags) also fetches tags from the remote.
You can change the default in Settings → ParalleLane → Git; a value changed in the modal applies only to that one run.
The fetch dialog, showing the Fetch from source and the all-remotes and fetch-tags options
Fetch always runs prune alongside it, clearing out stale origin/* tracking refs for branches deleted on the remote (local tags are not deleted). To prune a single remote only, use Clean up branches deleted on remote in the Cleanup menu on the top bar (it only appears in the main worktree). That dialog carries the same remote dropdown, so you can point it at any remote.

Event-driven auto-fetch

ParalleLane fetches in the background at these moments:
  • when the app window regains focus
  • when you switch worktrees or repositories
  • right after launching the app or restoring a session
In Settings → ParalleLane → General, switching the Fetch setting from Manual to Auto reveals the Auto-fetch interval dropdown. Choose 10–60 seconds (30 seconds by default); the same worktree is not fetched again within that interval.
Auto-fetch shows no notification on success or failure, and it is skipped when you are offline or have no remote. The prune and --all/--tags settings follow the same rules as a manual fetch.
