Docker container: Git remote branches are missing in workspace repository

[mar-be]

I cannot switch to other branches in the workspace repository of the winery Docker container. It seems that all remote branches except for main are missing.

There should be the following branches:

git fetch --all does not help

Workaround

Delete the workspace, manually clone the repository from GitHub, and rename its directory to workspace.

This is because the winery clones the workspace repository as a shallow clone. To get a full git repository use the following commands:

# go into workspace
cd /var/repository/workspace

# fetch misssing history
git fetch --unshallow

# fetch missing branch information
git remote set-branches origin '*'

# alternative command to fetch branch information:
# git config remote.origin.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*"

# fetch branches
git fetch -v

# then switch branch
git checkout branch_name
