NAME

6       git-ls-remote - List references in a remote repository
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git ls-remote [--heads] [--tags]  [-u <exec> | --upload-pack <exec>]
10                     [--exit-code] <repository> [<refs>...]

DESCRIPTION

14       Displays references available in a remote repository along with the
15       associated commit IDs.
16

OPTIONS

18       -h, --heads, -t, --tags
19           Limit to only refs/heads and refs/tags, respectively. These options
20           are not mutually exclusive; when given both, references stored in
21           refs/heads and refs/tags are displayed.
22
23       -u <exec>, --upload-pack=<exec>
24           Specify the full path of git-upload-pack on the remote host. This
25           allows listing references from repositories accessed via SSH and
26           where the SSH daemon does not use the PATH configured by the user.
27
28       --exit-code
29           Exit with status "2" when no matching refs are found in the remote
30           repository. Usually the command exits with status "0" to indicate
31           it successfully talked with the remote repository, whether it found
32           any matching refs.
33
34       --get-url
35           Expand the URL of the given remote repository taking into account
36           any "url.<base>.insteadOf" config setting (See git-config(1)) and
37           exit without talking to the remote.
38
39       <repository>
40           Location of the repository. The shorthand defined in
41           $GIT_DIR/branches/ can be used. Use "." (dot) to list references in
42           the local repository.
43
44       <refs>...
45           When unspecified, all references, after filtering done with --heads
46           and --tags, are shown. When <refs>... are specified, only
47           references matching the given patterns are displayed.
