6 git-ls-remote - List references in a remote repository
9 SYNOPSIS
10 --------
11 [verse]
12 'git ls-remote' [--heads] [--tags] [-u <exec> | --upload-pack <exec>]
13 <repository> <refs>...
15 DESCRIPTION
16 -----------
17 Displays references available in a remote repository along with the associated
18 commit IDs.
21 OPTIONS
22 -------
23 -h::
24 --heads::
25 -t::
26 --tags::
27 Limit to only refs/heads and refs/tags, respectively.
28 These options are _not_ mutually exclusive; when given
29 both, references stored in refs/heads and refs/tags are
30 displayed.
32 -u <exec>::
33 --upload-pack=<exec>::
34 Specify the full path of 'git-upload-pack' on the remote
35 host. This allows listing references from repositories accessed via
36 SSH and where the SSH daemon does not use the PATH configured by the
37 user.
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.
44 <refs>...::
45 When unspecified, all references, after filtering done
46 with --heads and --tags, are shown. When <refs>... are
47 specified, only references matching the given patterns
48 are displayed.
