git-ls-remote(1) ================ NAME ---- git-ls-remote - List references in a remote repository SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] 'git ls-remote' [--heads] [--tags] [-u <exec> | --upload-pack <exec>] <repository> <refs>... DESCRIPTION ----------- Displays references available in a remote repository along with the associated commit IDs. OPTIONS ------- -h:: --heads:: -t:: --tags:: Limit to only refs/heads and refs/tags, respectively. These options are _not_ mutually exclusive; when given both, references stored in refs/heads and refs/tags are displayed. -u <exec>:: --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. <repository>:: Location of the repository. The shorthand defined in $GIT_DIR/branches/ can be used. Use "." (dot) to list references in the local repository. <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.
