Note that `git ls-remote -h` used without + anything else on the command line gives help, consistent + with other git subcommands. + +--refs:: + Do not show peeled tags or pseudorefs like `HEAD` in the output. + +-q:: +--quiet:: + Do not print remote URL to stderr. + +--upload-pack=<exec>:: + Specify the full path of 'git-upload-pack' on the remote + host. This allows listing references from repositories accessed via + SSH and where the SSH daemon does not use the PATH configured by the + user. + +--exit-code:: + Exit with status "2" when no matching refs are found in the remote + repository. Usually the command exits with status "0" to indicate + it successfully talked with the remote repository, whether it + found any matching refs. + +--get-url:: + Expand the URL of the given remote repository taking into account any + "url.<base>.insteadOf" config setting (See linkgit:git-config[1]) and + exit without talking to the remote. + +--symref:: + In addition to the object pointed by it, show the underlying + ref pointed by it when showing a symbolic ref. Currently, + upload-pack only shows the symref HEAD, so it will be the only + one shown by ls-remote. + +--sort=<key>:: + Sort based on the key given. Prefix `-` to sort in descending order + of the value. Supports "version:refname" or "v:refname" (tag names + are treated as versions). The "version:refname" sort order can also + be affected by the "versionsort.suffix" configuration variable. + See linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1] for more sort options, but be aware + keys like `committerdate` that require access to the objects + themselves will not work for refs whose objects have not yet been + fetched from the remote, and will give a `missing object` error. + +-o <option>:: +--server-option=<option>:: + Transmit the given string to the server when communicating using + protocol version 2. The given string must not contain a NUL or LF + character. + When multiple `--server-option=<option>` are given, they are all + sent to the other side in the order listed on the command line. + +<repository>:: + The "remote" repository to query. This parameter can be + either a URL or the name of a remote (see the GIT URLS and + REMOTES sections of linkgit:git-fetch[1]). + +<refs>...:: + When unspecified, all references, after filtering done + with --heads and --tags, are shown. When <refs>... are + specified, only references matching the given patterns + are displayed. + +EXAMPLES +-------- + +---- +$ git ls-remote --tags ./. +d6602ec5194c87b0fc87103ca4d67251c76f233a refs/tags/v0.99 +f25a265a342aed6041ab0cc484224d9ca54b6f41 refs/tags/v0.99.1 +7ceca275d047c90c0c7d5afb13ab97efdf51bd6e refs/tags/v0.99.3 +c5db5456ae3b0873fc659c19fafdde22313cc441 refs/tags/v0.99.2 +0918385dbd9656cab0d1d81ba7453d49bbc16250 refs/tags/junio-gpg-pub +$ git ls-remote http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git master pu rc +5fe978a5381f1fbad26a80e682ddd2a401966740 refs/heads/master +c781a84b5204fb294c9ccc79f8b3baceeb32c061 refs/heads/pu +$ git remote add korg http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git +$ git ls-remote --tags korg v\* +d6602ec5194c87b0fc87103ca4d67251c76f233a refs/tags/v0.99 +f25a265a342aed6041ab0cc484224d9ca54b6f41 refs/tags/v0.99.1 +c5db5456ae3b0873fc659c19fafdde22313cc441 refs/tags/v0.99.2 +7ceca275d047c90c0c7d5afb13ab97efdf51bd6e refs/tags/v0.99.3 +---- + +SEE ALSO +-------- +linkgit:git-check-ref-format[1]. + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
