NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

9       git ls-remote [--heads] [--tags] [--refs] [--upload-pack=<exec>]
10                     [-q | --quiet] [--exit-code] [--get-url] [--sort=<key>]
11                     [--symref] [<repository> [<refs>...]]
12

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. Note that git ls-remote -h
22           used without anything else on the command line gives help,
23           consistent with other git subcommands.
24
25       --refs
26           Do not show peeled tags or pseudorefs like HEAD in the output.
27
28       -q, --quiet
29           Do not print remote URL to stderr.
30
31       --upload-pack=<exec>
32           Specify the full path of git-upload-pack on the remote host. This
33           allows listing references from repositories accessed via SSH and
34           where the SSH daemon does not use the PATH configured by the user.
35
36       --exit-code
37           Exit with status "2" when no matching refs are found in the remote
38           repository. Usually the command exits with status "0" to indicate
39           it successfully talked with the remote repository, whether it found
40           any matching refs.
41
42       --get-url
43           Expand the URL of the given remote repository taking into account
44           any "url.<base>.insteadOf" config setting (See git-config(1)) and
45           exit without talking to the remote.
46
47       --symref
48           In addition to the object pointed by it, show the underlying ref
49           pointed by it when showing a symbolic ref. Currently, upload-pack
50           only shows the symref HEAD, so it will be the only one shown by
51           ls-remote.
52
53       --sort=<key>
54           Sort based on the key given. Prefix - to sort in descending order
55           of the value. Supports "version:refname" or "v:refname" (tag names
56           are treated as versions). The "version:refname" sort order can also
57           be affected by the "versionsort.suffix" configuration variable. See
58           git-for-each-ref(1) for more sort options, but be aware keys like
59           committerdate that require access to the objects themselves will
60           not work for refs whose objects have not yet been fetched from the
61           remote, and will give a missing object error.
62
63       -o <option>, --server-option=<option>
64           Transmit the given string to the server when communicating using
65           protocol version 2. The given string must not contain a NUL or LF
66           character. When multiple --server-option=<option> are given, they
67           are all sent to the other side in the order listed on the command
68           line.
69
70       <repository>
71           The "remote" repository to query. This parameter can be either a
72           URL or the name of a remote (see the GIT URLS and REMOTES sections
73           of git-fetch(1)).
74
75       <refs>...
76           When unspecified, all references, after filtering done with --heads
77           and --tags, are shown. When <refs>... are specified, only
78           references matching the given patterns are displayed.
