1git-ls-remote(1) 2================ 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-ls-remote - List references in a remote repository 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11[verse] 12'git-ls-remote' [--heads] [--tags] [-u <exec> | --upload-pack <exec>] 13 <repository> <refs>... 14 15DESCRIPTION 16----------- 17Displays references available in a remote repository along with the associated 18commit IDs. 19 20 21OPTIONS 22------- 23-h|--heads, -t|--tags:: 24 Limit to only refs/heads and refs/tags, respectively. 25 These options are _not_ mutually exclusive; when given 26 both, references stored in refs/heads and refs/tags are 27 displayed. 28 29-u <exec>, --upload-pack=<exec>:: 30 Specify the full path of gitlink:git-upload-pack[1] on the remote 31 host. This allows listing references from repositories accessed via 32 SSH and where the SSH deamon does not use the PATH configured by the 33 user. Also see the '--exec' option for gitlink:git-peek-remote[1]. 34 35<repository>:: 36 Location of the repository. The shorthand defined in 37 $GIT_DIR/branches/ can be used. Use "." (dot) to list references in 38 the local repository. 39 40<refs>...:: 41 When unspecified, all references, after filtering done 42 with --heads and --tags, are shown. When <refs>... are 43 specified, only references matching the given patterns 44 are displayed. 45 46EXAMPLES 47-------- 48 49 $ git ls-remote --tags ./. 50 d6602ec5194c87b0fc87103ca4d67251c76f233a refs/tags/v0.99 51 f25a265a342aed6041ab0cc484224d9ca54b6f41 refs/tags/v0.99.1 52 7ceca275d047c90c0c7d5afb13ab97efdf51bd6e refs/tags/v0.99.3 53 c5db5456ae3b0873fc659c19fafdde22313cc441 refs/tags/v0.99.2 54 0918385dbd9656cab0d1d81ba7453d49bbc16250 refs/tags/junio-gpg-pub 55 $ git ls-remote http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git master pu rc 56 5fe978a5381f1fbad26a80e682ddd2a401966740 refs/heads/master 57 c781a84b5204fb294c9ccc79f8b3baceeb32c061 refs/heads/pu 58 b1d096f2926c4e37c9c0b6a7bf2119bedaa277cb refs/heads/rc 59 $ echo http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git >.git/branches/public 60 $ git ls-remote --tags public v\* 61 d6602ec5194c87b0fc87103ca4d67251c76f233a refs/tags/v0.99 62 f25a265a342aed6041ab0cc484224d9ca54b6f41 refs/tags/v0.99.1 63 c5db5456ae3b0873fc659c19fafdde22313cc441 refs/tags/v0.99.2 64 7ceca275d047c90c0c7d5afb13ab97efdf51bd6e refs/tags/v0.99.3 65 66Author 67------ 68Written by Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> 69 70GIT 71--- 72Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 73
