  41. Displays references available in a remote repository along with the associated commit IDs\&.
  42. .SH "OPTIONS"
  43. .PP
  44. \-b, \-\-branches, \-t, \-\-tags
  45. .RS 4
  46. Limit to only local branches and local tags, respectively\&. These options are
  47. \fInot\fR
  48. mutually exclusive; when given both, references stored in refs/heads and refs/tags are displayed\&. Note that
  49. \fB\-\-heads\fR
  50. and
  51. \fB\-h\fR
  52. are deprecated synonyms for
  53. \fB\-\-branches\fR
  54. and
  55. \fB\-b\fR
  56. and may be removed in the future\&. Also note that
  57. \fBgit\fR
  58. \fBls\-remote\fR
  59. \fB\-h\fR
  60. used without anything else on the command line gives help, consistent with other git subcommands\&.
  61. .RE
  62. .PP
  63. \-\-refs
  64. .RS 4
  65. Do not show peeled tags or pseudorefs like
  66. \fBHEAD\fR
  67. in the output\&.
  68. .RE
  69. .PP
  70. \-q, \-\-quiet
  71. .RS 4
  72. Do not print remote URL to stderr\&.
  73. .RE
  74. .PP
  75. \-\-upload\-pack=<exec>
  76. .RS 4
  77. Specify the full path of
  78. \fIgit\-upload\-pack\fR
  79. 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\&.
  80. .RE
  81. .PP
  82. \-\-exit\-code
  83. .RS 4
  84. 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\&.
  85. .RE
  86. .PP
  87. \-\-get\-url
  88. .RS 4
  89. Expand the URL of the given remote repository taking into account any "url\&.<base>\&.insteadOf" config setting (See
  90. \fBgit-config\fR(1)) and exit without talking to the remote\&.
  91. .RE
  92. .PP
  93. \-\-symref
  94. .RS 4
  95. 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\&.
  96. .RE
  97. .PP
  98. \-\-sort=<key>
  99. .RS 4
  100. Sort based on the key given\&. Prefix
  101. \fB\-\fR
  102. 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
  103. \fBgit-for-each-ref\fR(1)
  104. for more sort options, but be aware keys like
  105. \fBcommitterdate\fR
  106. 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
  107. \fBmissing\fR
  108. \fBobject\fR
  109. error\&.
  110. .RE
  111. .PP
  112. \-o <option>, \-\-server\-option=<option>
  113. .RS 4
  114. 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
  115. \fB\-\-server\-option=\fR\fI<option>\fR
  116. are given, they are all sent to the other side in the order listed on the command line\&. When no
  117. \fB\-\-server\-option=\fR\fI<option>\fR
  118. is given from the command line, the values of configuration variable
  119. \fBremote\&.\fR\fI<name>\fR\fB\&.serverOption\fR
  120. are used instead\&.
  121. .RE
  122. .PP
  123. <repository>
  124. .RS 4
  125. 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
  126. \fBgit-fetch\fR(1))\&.
  127. .RE
  128. .PP
  129. <patterns>\&...\:
  130. .RS 4
  131. 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
  132. \fBglob\fR
  133. in
  134. \fBgitglossary\fR(7)) which is matched against the "tail" of a ref, starting either from the start of the ref (so a full name like
  135. \fBrefs/heads/foo\fR
  136. matches) or from a slash separator (so
  137. \fBbar\fR
  138. matches
  139. \fBrefs/heads/bar\fR
  140. but not
  141. \fBrefs/heads/foobar\fR)\&.
  142. .RE
  143. .SH "OUTPUT"
  144. .sp
  145. The output is in the format:
  146. .sp
  147. .if n \{\
  148. .RS 4
  149. .\}
  150. .nf
  151. <oid> TAB <ref> LF
  152. .fi
  153. .if n \{\
  154. .RE
  155. .\}
  156. .sp
  157. When showing an annotated tag, unless \fB\-\-refs\fR is given, two such lines are shown: one with the refname for the tag itself as \fI<ref>\fR, and another with \fI<ref>\fR followed by \fB^\fR{}\&. The \fI<oid>\fR on the latter line shows the name of the object the tag points at\&.
