Looking at the capabilities the server sends you. (I forgot if there is a git command for it, but:) # check for http://github.com/gitster/git ssh git@github.com git-upload-pack gitster/git 0104fc10eb5b87a75af2cb93a3932897572f2c544915 HEADmulti_ack thin-pack side-band side-band-64k ofs-delta shallow no-progress include-tag multi_ack_detailed symref=HEAD:refs/heads/master agent=git/2:2.4.8~peff-symbolic-refs-iii-revenge-of-the-sith-1258-gc4b0e8b Notice the "symref=HEAD:refs/heads/master", which is what you want.

Hey, If I clone a repo, the repo will be on a specific branch, the 'main' (typically 'master') branch. Is there any direct command to find that main branch, since that information is present? If so, is there any way to find it without actually cloning the repo (similar to git ls-remote)? -- Thanks, Pedro Rijo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
