GIT-PEEK-REMOTE(1)                                    Git Manual                                   GIT-PEEK-REMOTE(1)



NAME
       git-peek-remote - List the references in a remote repository

SYNOPSIS
       git peek-remote [--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>] [<host>:]<directory>


DESCRIPTION
       This command is deprecated; use git ls-remote instead.

OPTIONS
       --upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>
           Use this to specify the path to git-upload-pack on the remote side, if it is not found on your $PATH. Some
           installations of sshd ignores the user’s environment setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile)
           and your privately installed git may not be found on the system default $PATH. Another workaround
           suggested is to set up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people who do not want to pay the
           overhead for non-interactive shells, but prefer having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of the things up
           in .bash_profile).

       <host>
           A remote host that houses the repository. When this part is specified, git-upload-pack is invoked via ssh.

       <directory>
           The repository to sync from.
