While it's good to have several examples to solidify the output pattern
and generally demonstrate how to use the command, most other EXAMPLES
sections (e.g., git-show-branch.txt, git-remote.txt) additionally
describe the problem/situation to which the example is applicable.

Follow this example in the ls-remote documentation.
