===== Overview =====

How to examine a remote with ''git remote'' and ''git ls-remote''.

===== Examine branches =====

Local branches:

<code>
$ git branch
* master
$
</code>

Remote branches:

<code>
$ git branch -r
  origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  origin/master
$
</code>

All branches:
  
<code>
$ git branch -a
* master
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  remotes/origin/master
$
</code>

Verbose branches:

<code>
$ git branch -v
* master 610cd4eadec4 Merge branch 'x86-uv-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
$
</code>

<code>
$ git branch -vv
* master 610cd4eadec4 [origin/master] Merge ...
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
$
</code>

===== Examine remotes =====

==== git remote ====

<code>
$ git remote
origin
$
</code>

<code>
$ git remote -v
origin	https://github.com/torvalds/linux (fetch)
origin	https://github.com/torvalds/linux (push)
$
</code>

<code>
$ git remote show origin
* remote origin
  Fetch URL: https://github.com/torvalds/linux
  Push  URL: https://github.com/torvalds/linux
  HEAD branch: master
  Remote branch:
    master tracked
  Local branch configured for 'git pull':
    master merges with remote master
  Local ref configured for 'git push':
    master pushes to master (up to date)
$
</code>

==== git ls-remote ====

Lots of options here ...

<code>
