Sometimes it's useful to know the main branch of a git repository without actually downloading the repository. This can be done by looking at the symrefs stored in the remote repository. Currently git doesn't provide a simple way to show the symrefs stored on the remote repository, even though the information is available. Add a --symref command line argument to the ls-remote command, which shows the symrefs in the remote repository. While there, replace a literal tab in the format string with \t to make it more obvious to the reader.

git-ls-remote - List references in a remote repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'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 linkgit: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 linkgit: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.
