12'git-peek-remote' [--exec=<git-upload-pack>] [<host>:]<directory>

16Lists the references the remote repository has, and optionally
17stores them in the local repository under the same name.
18
19OPTIONS
20-------
21--exec=<git-upload-pack>::
22 Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the
2c6e4771
JS
23 remote side, if it is not found on your $PATH. Some
24 installations of sshd ignores the user's environment
508e67ab
JH
25 setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and
26 your privately installed GIT may not be found on the system
27 default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set
28 up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people
29 who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive
2c6e4771 30 shells, but prefer having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of
508e67ab
JH
31 the things up in .bash_profile).
32
33<host>::
34 A remote host that houses the repository. When this
35 part is specified, 'git-upload-pack' is invoked via
36 ssh.
37
38<directory>::
39 The repository to sync from.
