I want to have references/all branches locally.

This will want to be expanded over time. The short version might be:

git fetch --all
git pull --all

to just get the references, but it might be necessary to do:

git branch -r \
  | grep -v '\->' \
  | sed "s,\x1B\[[0-9;]*[a-zA-Z],,g" \
  | while read remote; do \
      git branch --track "${remote#origin/}" "$remote"; \
    done
git fetch --all
git pull --all
