+================

+NAME
+----
+git-ls-remote - List references in a remote repository
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git-ls-remote' [--heads] [--tags] [-u <exec> | --upload-pack <exec>]
+ <repository> <refs>...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Displays references available in a remote repository along with the associated
+commit IDs.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-h|--heads, -t|--tags::
+ Limit to only refs/heads and refs/tags, respectively.
+ These options are _not_ mutually exclusive; when given
+ both, references stored in refs/heads and refs/tags are
+ displayed.
+
+-u <exec>, --upload-pack=<exec>::
+ Specify the full path of gitlink:git-upload-pack[1] 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. Also see the '--exec' option for gitlink:git-peek-remote[1].
+
+<repository>::
+ Location of the repository. The shorthand defined in
+ $GIT_DIR/branches/ can be used. Use "." (dot) to list references in
+ the local repository.
+
+<refs>...::
+ When unspecified, all references, after filtering done
+ with --heads and --tags, are shown. When <refs>... are
+ specified, only references matching the given patterns
+ are displayed.
+
