   9 SYNOPSIS
  10 --------
  11 [verse]
  12 'git ls-remote' [--heads] [--tags]  [-u <exec> | --upload-pack <exec>]
  13               <repository> <refs>...
  14
  15 DESCRIPTION
  16 -----------
  17 Displays references available in a remote repository along with the associated
  18 commit IDs.

  21 OPTIONS
  22 -------
  23 -h::
  24 --heads::
  25 -t::
  26 --tags::
  27         Limit to only refs/heads and refs/tags, respectively.
  28         These options are _not_ mutually exclusive; when given
  29         both, references stored in refs/heads and refs/tags are
  30         displayed.
  31
  32 -u <exec>::
  33 --upload-pack=<exec>::
  34         Specify the full path of linkgit:git-upload-pack[1] on the remote
  35         host. This allows listing references from repositories accessed via
  36         SSH and where the SSH daemon does not use the PATH configured by the
  37         user.
  38
  39 <repository>::
  40         Location of the repository.  The shorthand defined in
  41         $GIT_DIR/branches/ can be used. Use "." (dot) to list references in
  42         the local repository.
  43
  44 <refs>...::
  45         When unspecified, all references, after filtering done
  46         with --heads and --tags, are shown.  When <refs>... are
  47         specified, only references matching the given patterns
  48         are displayed.
