  16DESCRIPTION
  17-----------
  18Displays references available in a remote repository along with the associated
  19commit IDs.

  22OPTIONS
  23-------
  24-h::
  25--heads::
  26-t::
  27--tags::
  28        Limit to only refs/heads and refs/tags, respectively.
  29        These options are _not_ mutually exclusive; when given
  30        both, references stored in refs/heads and refs/tags are
  31        displayed.
  32
  33--refs::
  34        Do not show peeled tags or pseudorefs like HEAD in the output.
  35
  36-q::
  37--quiet::
  38        Do not print remote URL to stderr.
  39
  40--upload-pack=<exec>::
  41        Specify the full path of 'git-upload-pack' on the remote
  42        host. This allows listing references from repositories accessed via
  43        SSH and where the SSH daemon does not use the PATH configured by the
  44        user.
  45
  46--exit-code::
  47        Exit with status "2" when no matching refs are found in the remote
  48        repository. Usually the command exits with status "0" to indicate
  49        it successfully talked with the remote repository, whether it
  50        found any matching refs.
  51
  52--get-url::
  53        Expand the URL of the given remote repository taking into account any
  54        "url.<base>.insteadOf" config setting (See linkgit:git-config[1]) and
  55        exit without talking to the remote.
  56
  57--symref::
  58        In addition to the object pointed by it, show the underlying
  59        ref pointed by it when showing a symbolic ref.  Currently,
  60        upload-pack only shows the symref HEAD, so it will be the only
  61        one shown by ls-remote.
  62
  63<repository>::
  64        The "remote" repository to query.  This parameter can be
  65        either a URL or the name of a remote (see the GIT URLS and
  66        REMOTES sections of linkgit:git-fetch[1]).
  67
  68<refs>...::
  69        When unspecified, all references, after filtering done
  70        with --heads and --tags, are shown.  When <refs>... are
  71        specified, only references matching the given patterns
  72        are displayed.
