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.
