What it does

Today I learned about the git ls-remote command. I needed a way to see the names of branches on my remote (origin), and git ls-remote saved the day. git ls-remote lists references on a remote repository, including branches, tags, notes and more. git ls-remote https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git And you can filter further with patterns, if you want to find all branches beginning with feat : git ls-remote -b origin feat* You can include more patterns separated by spaces, and will return any references matching one or more of the patterns. The following will return any reference starting with feat OR matching main : git ls-remote -b origin feat* main #git…from til.hashrocket.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
