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] [--upload-pack=<exec>] 13 [--exit-code] <repository> [<refs>...] 14 15DESCRIPTION 16----------- 17Displays references available in a remote repository along with the associated 18commit IDs. 19 20 21OPTIONS 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--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 36 user. 37 38--exit-code:: 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. 43 44--get-url:: 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. 48 49<repository>:: 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]). 53 54<refs>...:: 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 58 are displayed. 59 60EXAMPLES 61-------- 62 63 $ git ls-remote --tags ./. 64 d6602ec5194c87b0fc87103ca4d67251c76f233a refs/tags/v0.99 65 f25a265a342aed6041ab0cc484224d9ca54b6f41 refs/tags/v0.99.1 66 7ceca275d047c90c0c7d5afb13ab97efdf51bd6e refs/tags/v0.99.3 67 c5db5456ae3b0873fc659c19fafdde22313cc441 refs/tags/v0.99.2 68 0918385dbd9656cab0d1d81ba7453d49bbc16250 refs/tags/junio-gpg-pub 69 $ git ls-remote http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git master pu rc 70 5fe978a5381f1fbad26a80e682ddd2a401966740 refs/heads/master 71 c781a84b5204fb294c9ccc79f8b3baceeb32c061 refs/heads/pu 72 $ git remote add korg http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git 73 $ git ls-remote --tags korg v\* 74 d6602ec5194c87b0fc87103ca4d67251c76f233a refs/tags/v0.99 75 f25a265a342aed6041ab0cc484224d9ca54b6f41 refs/tags/v0.99.1 76 c5db5456ae3b0873fc659c19fafdde22313cc441 refs/tags/v0.99.2 77 7ceca275d047c90c0c7d5afb13ab97efdf51bd6e refs/tags/v0.99.3 78 79GIT 80--- 81Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
