While well-established, the output format of ls-remote was not actually documented. This patch adds an OUTPUT section to the documentation following the format of git-show-ref.txt (which has similar semantics). Add a basic example immediately after this to solidify the 'normal' output format. Signed-off-by: Sean Allred <allred.sean@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

git-ls-remote - List references in a remote repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git ls-remote' [--heads] [--tags] [--refs] [--upload-pack=<exec>]
|
|
[-q | --quiet] [--exit-code] [--get-url] [--sort=<key>]
|
|
[--symref] [<repository> [<patterns>...]]
|
|
|
|
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. Note that `git ls-remote -h` used without
|
|
anything else on the command line gives help, consistent
|
|
with other git subcommands.
|
|
|
|
--refs::
|
|
Do not show peeled tags or pseudorefs like `HEAD` in the output.
|
|
|
|
-q::
|
|
--quiet::
|
|
Do not print remote URL to stderr.
|
|
|
|
--upload-pack=<exec>::
|
|
Specify the full path of 'git-upload-pack' 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.
|
|
|
|
--exit-code::
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
--get-url::
|
|
Expand the URL of the given remote repository taking into account any
|
|
"url.<base>.insteadOf" config setting (See linkgit:git-config[1]) and
|
|
exit without talking to the remote.
|
|
|
|
--symref::
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
--sort=<key>::
|
|
Sort based on the key given. Prefix `-` 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 linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1] for more sort options, but be aware
|
|
keys like `committerdate` 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 `missing object` error.
|
|
|
|
-o <option>::
|
|
--server-option=<option>::
|
|
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 `--server-option=<option>` are given, they are all
|
|
sent to the other side in the order listed on the command line.
|
|
|
|
<repository>::
|
|
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 linkgit:git-fetch[1]).
|
|
|
|
<patterns>...::
|
|
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 `glob` in linkgit:gitglossary[7]) which is matched against
|
|
the "tail" of a ref, starting either from the start of the ref
|
|
(so a full name like `refs/heads/foo` matches) or from a slash
|
|
separator (so `bar` matches `refs/heads/bar` but not
|
|
`refs/heads/foobar`).
|
|
|
|
OUTPUT
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
The output is in the format:
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
<oid> TAB <ref> LF
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
When showing an annotated tag, unless `--refs` is given, two such
|
|
lines are shown: one with the refname for the tag itself as `<ref>`,
|
|
and another with `<ref>` followed by `^{}`. The `<oid>` on the latter
|
|
line shows the name of the object the tag points at.
