You have cloned a repo maybe using shallow clone with <code>git clone --depth &lt;depth&gt; &lt;repo&gt;</code> implies <code>--single-branch</code>, 
But strangely when you are trying to fetch from remote, it's not working. 
To fix a local repo that's not fetching try:
or
<pre><code class="lang-bash">git config remote.upstream.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*"
git config --get remote.upstream.fetch
git fetch
</code></pre>
To prevent this from happening in the future, As noted in the man page <a target="_blank" href="https://git-scm.com/docs/git-clone#Documentation/git-clone.txt---depthltdepthgt">git-clone(1)</a>, so we'd better do it with <code>git clone --depth &lt;depth&gt; --no-single-branch &lt;repo&gt;</code>.
