NAME

git-ls-remote − List references in a remote repository

SYNOPSIS

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.

EXAMPLES

$ git ls−remote −−tags ./.
