While working on a project, it is necessary to pull some branches from remote and merge into current branch.
To update another branch, we have to
foo)All these steps can be done with single command on terminal using
git fetch origin foo:foo
How to do the same with magit in single step?
In addition to @phils valid observation, there is f o for fetch other, you can then give it origin and then foo. This will update the origin/foo branch, rather than the foo branch.
Or you can use f r for fetch refspec and give it origin and foo:foo which will do exactly what your command line does.
foo:foo, instead of typing them everytime?

f, r, origin, it just lists all available PR's and I have to type branch:branch everytime to fetch a branch. `

f u will fetch all the configured branches, just like git fetch origin.
: fetch origin foo:foo(not intended to be facetious -- I'm just pointing out that you can run arbitrary git commands from inside git).
