git-remote: Show information about a remote.
$ git remote show ${remote_name}
try on your machine

The command "git remote show ${remote_name}" is used to display detailed information about a remote repository in Git.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "git remote" is a command used to manage a list of remote repositories associated with the current Git repository.
  • "show" is an argument that tells Git to display information about the specified remote repository.
  • "${remote_name}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the remote repository you want to view information for.

When you run this command with the appropriate remote name, Git will provide information such as the remote repository's URL, remote branches, local branches configured to track remote branches, and more. This information is useful to understand the current state and configuration of the remote repository.
