NAME
git-ls-remote - List references in a remote repository
SYNOPSIS
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 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.
<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 ./.
