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] [--refs] [--upload-pack=<exec>] 13 [-q | --quiet] [--exit-code] [--get-url] 14 [--symref] [<repository> [<refs>...]] 15 16DESCRIPTION 17----------- 18Displays references available in a remote repository along with the associated 19commit IDs. 20 21 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. 73 74EXAMPLES 75-------- 76 77 $ git ls-remote --tags ./. 78 d6602ec5194c87b0fc87103ca4d67251c76f233a refs/tags/v0.99 79 f25a265a342aed6041ab0cc484224d9ca54b6f41 refs/tags/v0.99.1 80 7ceca275d047c90c0c7d5afb13ab97efdf51bd6e refs/tags/v0.99.3 81 c5db5456ae3b0873fc659c19fafdde22313cc441 refs/tags/v0.99.2 82 0918385dbd9656cab0d1d81ba7453d49bbc16250 refs/tags/junio-gpg-pub 83 $ git ls-remote http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git master pu rc 84 5fe978a5381f1fbad26a80e682ddd2a401966740 refs/heads/master 85 c781a84b5204fb294c9ccc79f8b3baceeb32c061 refs/heads/pu 86 $ git remote add korg http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git 87 $ git ls-remote --tags korg v\* 88 d6602ec5194c87b0fc87103ca4d67251c76f233a refs/tags/v0.99 89 f25a265a342aed6041ab0cc484224d9ca54b6f41 refs/tags/v0.99.1 90 c5db5456ae3b0873fc659c19fafdde22313cc441 refs/tags/v0.99.2 91 7ceca275d047c90c0c7d5afb13ab97efdf51bd6e refs/tags/v0.99.3 92 93GIT 94--- 95Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
