Why download requests occur when retrieving

Every time I get fetch from the GitHub repo, a bunch of pull requests are extracted from the console:

 /c/git/myProject>git fetch From github.com:MyOrganization/myProject * [new ref] refs/pull/1/head -> origin/pr/1 * [new ref] refs/pull/10/head -> origin/pr/10 * [new ref] refs/pull/11/head -> origin/pr/11 * [new ref] refs/pull/12/head -> origin/pr/12 ...

To get rid of them, I use git remote prune origin or git fetch --prune , but return requests are returned when I git fetch again. I found several links on the Internet that allow you to receive download requests locally (add fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* in .git/config ), but I did not.

My colleague does not see this problem, and his ~/.gitconfig and .git/config are similar to mine. It uses git under cygwin, and I use git - bash, which comes with GitHub for Windows (not the GUI), version 1.0.47.0.

Any ideas why this is happening and how to stop it?

GitHub for Windows "Git Portable" (MsysGit portable installation) installs refcpec fetch globally to enable pull requests; you can see this by running git config --list in git - bash.

You can undo this by deleting the corresponding fetchspec, for example:

 git config --system --unset remote.origin.fetch
