Note that `git ls-remote -h` used without + anything else on the command line gives help, consistent + with other git subcommands. + +--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. + +--sort=<key>:: + Sort based on the key given. Prefix `-` to sort in descending order + of the value. Supports "version:refname" or "v:refname" (tag names + are treated as versions). The "version:refname" sort order can also + be affected by the "versionsort.suffix" configuration variable. + See linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1] for more sort options, but be aware + keys like `committerdate` that require access to the objects + themselves will not work for refs whose objects have not yet been + fetched from the remote, and will give a `missing object` error. + +-o <option>:: +--server-option=<option>:: + Transmit the given string to the server when communicating using + protocol version 2. The given string must not contain a NUL or LF + character. + When multiple `--server-option=<option>` are given, they are all + sent to the other side in the order listed on the command line. + +<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]). + +<patterns>...:: + When unspecified, all references, after filtering done + with --heads and --tags, are shown. When <patterns>... are + specified, only references matching one or more of the given + patterns are displayed. Each pattern is interpreted as a glob + (see `glob` in linkgit:gitglossary[7]) which is matched against + the "tail" of a ref, starting either from the start of the ref + (so a full name like `refs/heads/foo` matches) or from a slash + separator (so `bar` matches `refs/heads/bar` but not + `refs/heads/foobar`). + +OUTPUT +------ + +The output is in the format: + +------------ +<oid> TAB <ref> LF +------------ + +When showing an annotated tag, unless `--refs` is given, two such +lines are shown: one with the refname for the tag itself as `<ref>`, +and another with `<ref>` followed by `^{}`. The `<oid>` on the latter +line shows the name of the object the tag points at. + +EXAMPLES +-------- + +* List all references (including symbolics and pseudorefs), peeling + tags: ++ +---- +$ git ls-remote +27d43aaaf50ef0ae014b88bba294f93658016a2e HEAD +950264636c68591989456e3ba0a5442f93152c1a refs/heads/main +d9ab777d41f92a8c1684c91cfb02053d7dd1046b refs/heads/next +d4ca2e3147b409459955613c152220f4db848ee1 refs/tags/v2.40.0 +73876f4861cd3d187a4682290ab75c9dccadbc56 refs/tags/v2.40.0^{} +---- + +* List all references matching given patterns: ++ +---- +$ git ls-remote http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git master seen rc +5fe978a5381f1fbad26a80e682ddd2a401966740 refs/heads/master +c781a84b5204fb294c9ccc79f8b3baceeb32c061 refs/heads/seen +---- + +* List only tags matching a given wildcard pattern: ++ +---- +$ git ls-remote --tags http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git v\* +485a869c64a68cc5795dd99689797c5900f4716d refs/tags/v2.39.2 +cbf04937d5b9fcf0a76c28f69e6294e9e3ecd7e6 refs/tags/v2.39.2^{} +d4ca2e3147b409459955613c152220f4db848ee1 refs/tags/v2.40.0 +73876f4861cd3d187a4682290ab75c9dccadbc56 refs/tags/v2.40.0^{} +---- + +SEE ALSO +-------- +linkgit:git-check-ref-format[1]. + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
