git-ls-remote(1)

NAME

   git-ls-remote - List references in a remote repository

SYNOPSIS

   git ls-remote [--heads] [--tags] [--refs] [--upload-pack=<exec>]
                 [-q | --quiet] [--exit-code] [--get-url]
                 [--symref] [<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.

   --refs
       Do not show peeled tags or pseudorefs like HEAD in the output.

   -q, --quiet
       Do not print remote URL to stderr.

   --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.

   --exit-code
       Exit with status "2" when no matching refs are found in the remote
       repository. Usually the command exits with status "0" to indicate
       it successfully talked with the remote repository, whether it found
       any matching refs.

   --get-url
       Expand the URL of the given remote repository taking into account
       any "url.<base>.insteadOf" config setting (See git-config(1)) and
       exit without talking to the remote.

   --symref
       In addition to the object pointed by it, show the underlying ref
       pointed by it when showing a symbolic ref. Currently, upload-pack
       only shows the symref HEAD, so it will be the only one shown by
       ls-remote.

   <repository>
       The "remote" repository to query. This parameter can be either a
       URL or the name of a remote (see the GIT URLS and REMOTES sections
       of git-fetch(1)).

   <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.
