Git Ls-Remote Command

git-ls-remote(1) ================ NAME ---- git-ls-remote - List references in a remote repository SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] 'git ls-remote' [--branches] [--tags] [--refs] [--upload-pack=<exec>] [-q | --quiet] [--exit-code] [--get-url] [--sort=<key>] [--symref] [<repository> [<patterns>...]] DESCRIPTION ----------- Displays references available in a remote repository along with the associated commit IDs. OPTIONS ------- -b:: --branches:: -t:: --tags:: Limit to only local branches and local tags, respectively. These options are _not_ mutually exclusive; when given both, references stored in refs/heads and refs/tags are displayed. Note that `--heads` and `-h` are deprecated synonyms for `--branches` and `-b` and may be removed in the future. Also 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

The git ls-remote command is used to list references in a remote repository, including branches and tags, along with their associated commit IDs, and provides various options to customize the output and behavior.
