git-peek-remote(1)
==================
NAME
----
git-peek-remote - Lists the references in a remote repository.
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-peek-remote' [--exec=<git-upload-pack>] [<host>:]<directory>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Lists the references the remote repository has, and optionally
stores them in the local repository under the same name.
OPTIONS
-------
--exec=<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.
