ostree: Show available refs (branches).
$ ostree refs --repo ${path-to-repo}
try on your machine
The command "ostree refs --repo ${path-to-repo}" is used to list all the references (branches, tags, or remote references) available in an ostree repository located at the specified path.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "ostree" is the command-line tool for working with ostree repositories in Linux-based systems.
- "refs" is the subcommand used to interact with the references in an ostree repository.
- "--repo ${path-to-repo}" is an option specifying the path to the ostree repository to operate on. You need to replace "${path-to-repo}" with the actual path to the repository on your system.
When you execute this command, it will list all the references present in the specified ostree repository. References can be branches (local branches), tags (named snapshots of the repository), or remote references (such as references to upstream repositories). These references enable you to track and manage different versions or snapshots of the repository.
