List of remotes for a Git repository?

If you only need the names of the remote repositories (and not any of the other data), a simple git remote is enough.

$ git remote
iqandreas
octopress
origin

You can get a list of any configured remote URLs with the command git remote -v.

This will give you something like the following:

base    /home/***/htdocs/base (fetch)
base    /home/***/htdocs/base (push)
origin  [email protected]:*** (fetch)
origin  [email protected]:*** (push)

The answers so far tell you how to find existing branches:

git branch -r

Or repositories for the same project [see note below]:

git remote -v

There is another case. You might want to know about other project repositories hosted on the same server.

To discover that information, I use SSH or PuTTY to log into to host and ls to find the directories containing the other repositories. For example, if I cloned a repository by typing:

git clone ssh://git.mycompany.com/git/ABCProject

and want to know what else is available, I log into git.mycompany.com via SSH or PuTTY and type:

ls /git

assuming ls says:

 ABCProject DEFProject

I can use the command

 git clone ssh://git.mycompany.com/git/DEFProject

to gain access to the other project.

NOTE: Usually git remote simply tells me about origin -- the repository from which I cloned the project. git remote would be handy if you were collaborating with two or more people working on the same project and accessing each other's repositories directly rather than passing everything through origin.


FWIW, I had exactly the same question, but I could not find the answer here. It's probably not portable, but at least for gitolite, I can run the following to get what I want:

$ ssh [email protected] info
hello akim, this is gitolite 2.3-1 (Debian) running on git 1.7.10.4
the gitolite config gives you the following access:
     R   W     android
     R   W     bistro
     R   W     checkpn
...
