Subject: [PATCH] doc: fetch: document `--jobs=0` behavior
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 19:32:39 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2047.git.1771443159369.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
From: "Daniel D. Beck" <daniel@ddbeck.com>
In c39952b92 (fetch: choose a sensible default with --jobs=0 again,
2023-02-20), the `--jobs=0` behavior was (re)introduced, but it went
undocumented. Since this is the same behavior as `git -c fetch.parallel=0
fetch`, which is documented, this change creates symmetry between the two
documentation sections.

Parallelize all forms of fetching up to _<n>_ jobs at a time.

+A value of 0 will use some reasonable default.

If the `--multiple` option was specified, the different remotes will be fetched
in parallel. If multiple submodules are fetched, they will be fetched in
parallel. To control them independently, use the config settings
