NAME
----
git-ls-remote - List references in a remote repository
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git-ls-remote' [--heads] [--tags] [-u <exec> | --upload-pack <exec>]
<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.
-u <exec>, --upload-pack=<exec>::
Specify the full path of gitlink:git-upload-pack[1] on the remote
host. This allows listing references from repositories accessed via
SSH and where the SSH deamon does not use the PATH configured by the
user. Also see the '--exec' option for gitlink:git-peek-remote[1].
<repository>::
Location of the repository. The shorthand defined in
$GIT_DIR/branches/ can be used. Use "." (dot) to list references in
the local repository.
<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.
EXAMPLES
--------
$ git ls-remote --tags ./.
