Connect to the remote end specifying that we want to fetch information from it.

  if (git_remote_connect(data->remote, GIT_DIRECTION_FETCH) < 0) {
    data->ret = -1;
    goto exit;
  }

Download the packfile and index it. This function updates the amount of received data and the indexer stats which lets you inform the user about progress.

  if (git_remote_download(data->remote, NULL, NULL) < 0) {
    data->ret = -1;
    goto exit;
  }

  data->ret = 0;

exit:
  data->finished = 1;

Figure out whether it's a named remote or a URL

  printf("Fetching %s for repo %p\n", argv[1], repo);
  if (git_remote_load(&remote, repo, argv[1]) < 0) {
    if (git_remote_create_inmemory(&remote, repo, NULL, argv[1]) < 0)
      return -1;
  }

Set up the callbacks (only update_tips for now)

  callbacks.update_tips = &update_cb;
  callbacks.progress = &progress_cb;
  git_remote_set_callbacks(remote, &callbacks);

Set up the information for the background worker thread

  data.remote = remote;
  data.ret = 0;
  data.finished = 0;

  stats = git_remote_stats(remote);

#ifdef _WIN32
  download(&data);
#else
  pthread_create(&worker, NULL, download, &data);

Loop while the worker thread is still running. Here we show processed and total objects in the pack and the amount of received data. Most frontends will probably want to show a percentage and the download rate.

  do {
    usleep(10000);

    if (stats->total_objects > 0)
      printf("Received %d/%d objects (%d) in %" PRIuZ " bytes\r",
             stats->received_objects, stats->total_objects,
           stats->indexed_objects, stats->received_bytes);
  } while (!data.finished);

  if (data.ret < 0)
    goto on_error;

  pthread_join(worker, NULL);
#endif

  printf("\rReceived %d/%d objects in %zu bytes\n",
      stats->indexed_objects, stats->total_objects, stats->received_bytes);

Disconnect the underlying connection to prevent from idling.

Update the references in the remote's namespace to point to the right commits. This may be needed even if there was no packfile to download, which can happen e.g. when the branches have been changed but all the neede objects are available locally.

  if (git_remote_update_tips(remote) < 0)
    return -1;

  git_remote_free(remote);

  return 0;

 on_error:
  git_remote_free(remote);
  return -1;
}
