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 '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.
