GIT-LS-REMOTE(1)                                           Git Manual                                           GIT-LS-REMOTE(1)



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 ./.
