I have forked someone else's branch in GitHub and he had more than 100 branches. Is there is any way to merge all branches at once to master so that I can view all files at once to master.

Any help will be appreciated!

    Merging has much deeper consequences than viewing. Merging all branches at once is unlikely to make sense. What is your real goal here? – matt May 07 '20 at 12:47

As others have mentioned, this probably isn't a thing you want to do. Work on a branch may be very different from the main branch and it may be out of date or otherwise not something you actually want. I have tons of branches on some projects and tons of them are out of date or just abandoned.

If you're certain you want to do this, you can create a temporary branch and then merge all the branches together that you're interested in with an octopus merge. Note that octopus merges must be clean; that is, they just fail if they would conflict. You can do this like so:

git checkout -b temp
git merge branch1 branch2 branch3 # and so on

If there's a conflict, then you'll have to invoke git merge with one branch at a time.
