Refresh remote Git branches in Android studio

Question

There is a new branch in the remote repository, but it does not appear in the git branches in android studio. How can I refresh that list to show the new branch?

I have tried git branch -r but new branch is not showing in the list.

In your Android Studio menu bar, click on VCS > Git > Fetch

Check the image:

Would be nice if they just named it "Refresh remote" or something similar. – Robert J. Clegg Jul 16 '18 at 15:04

@ralphgabb If VCS is enabled, the option is available in the Menu bar. I have updated the answer and added image in it. Please check the same. – Pranav Karnik Jan 21 '19 at 06:28

You can try using VCS (from menu) then click on Git and then on Fetch. Alternatively, you can use git fetch --all
