6 git-ls-remote - List references in a remote repository
12 'git ls-remote' [--heads] [--tags] [--upload-pack=<exec>]
13 [--exit-code] <repository> [<refs>...]
17 Displays references available in a remote repository along with the associated
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
32 --upload-pack=<exec>::
33 Specify the full path of 'git-upload-pack' on the remote
34 host. This allows listing references from repositories accessed via
35 SSH and where the SSH daemon does not use the PATH configured by the
39 Exit with status "2" when no matching refs are found in the remote
40 repository. Usually the command exits with status "0" to indicate
41 it successfully talked with the remote repository, whether it
42 found any matching refs.
45 Expand the URL of the given remote repository taking into account any
46 "url.<base>.insteadOf" config setting (See linkgit:git-config[1]) and
47 exit without talking to the remote.
50 The "remote" repository to query. This parameter can be
51 either a URL or the name of a remote (see the GIT URLS and
52 REMOTES sections of linkgit:git-fetch[1]).
55 When unspecified, all references, after filtering done
56 with --heads and --tags, are shown. When <refs>... are
57 specified, only references matching the given patterns
