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|--heads, -t|--tags::
24 Limit to only refs/heads and refs/tags, respectively.
25 These options are _not_ mutually exclusive; when given
26 both, references stored in refs/heads and refs/tags are
27 displayed.
29 -u <exec>, --upload-pack=<exec>::
30 Specify the full path of linkgit:git-upload-pack[1] on the remote
31 host. This allows listing references from repositories accessed via
32 SSH and where the SSH daemon does not use the PATH configured by the
33 user.
35 <repository>::
36 Location of the repository. The shorthand defined in
37 $GIT_DIR/branches/ can be used. Use "." (dot) to list references in
38 the local repository.
40 <refs>...::
41 When unspecified, all references, after filtering done
42 with --heads and --tags, are shown. When <refs>... are
43 specified, only references matching the given patterns
44 are displayed.
