  11 [verse]

  13               [--exit-code] <repository> [<refs>...]

  15 DESCRIPTION
  16 -----------
  17 Displays references available in a remote repository along with the associated
  18 commit IDs.
  19
  20
  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.
  31
  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.
  38
  39 --exit-code::
  40         Exit with status "2" when no matching refs are found in the remote
  41         repository. Usually the command exits with status "0" to indicate
  42         it successfully talked with the remote repository, whether it
  43         found any matching refs.
  44
  45 <repository>::
  46         Location of the repository.  The shorthand defined in
  47         $GIT_DIR/branches/ can be used. Use "." (dot) to list references in
  48         the local repository.
  49
  50 <refs>...::
  51         When unspecified, all references, after filtering done
  52         with --heads and --tags, are shown.  When <refs>... are
  53         specified, only references matching the given patterns
  54         are displayed.
