9 SYNOPSIS
10 --------
11 [verse]
12 'git ls-remote' [--heads] [--tags]  [-u <exec> | --upload-pack <exec>]
13               [--exit-code] <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 --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.
45 --get-url::
46         Expand the URL of the given remote repository taking into account any
47         "url.<base>.insteadOf" config setting (See linkgit:git-config[1]) and
48         exit without talking to the remote.
50 <repository>::
51         Location of the repository.  The shorthand defined in
52         $GIT_DIR/branches/ can be used. Use "." (dot) to list references in
53         the local repository.
55 <refs>...::
56         When unspecified, all references, after filtering done
57         with --heads and --tags, are shown.  When <refs>... are
58         specified, only references matching the given patterns
59         are displayed.
