$ git ls-remote ${repository_name} "${pattern}"
try on your machine
The command git ls-remote ${repository_name} "${pattern}" is used in Git to list references in a remote repository that match a specified pattern.
Here's how each part of the command works:
git ls-remote: This is the main command used to list references in a remote repository.${repository_name}: This is a placeholder for the name or URL of the remote repository you want to query."${pattern}": This is a placeholder for the pattern you want to match. It can be a branch name, tag name, or any other reference in the remote repository.
When you run this command, Git will connect to the specified remote repository and list all the references that match the provided pattern. The output will typically include the commit hash or other information associated with each reference. This command is useful for checking the existence of a branch, tag, or other reference in a remote repository without actually cloning the repository.
