GIT-LS-REMOTE(1)

NAME
git-ls-remote - Look at references other repository has

SYNOPSIS
git-ls-remote [--heads] [--tags] <repository> <refs>...

DESCRIPTION
Displays the references other repository has.

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.

<repository>
    Location of the repository. The shorthand defined in $GIT_DIR/branches/ can be used.

<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.
