List remote branches without cloning the repo ?

[ahmed-bhs]

Hello, is there a way to get the getRemoteBranches from a remote repo without cloning it locally?

 $git = new \CzProject\GitPhp\Git; $repo = $git->open('https://github.com/czproject/git-php.git'); var_dump($repo->getRemoteBranches()); 

But this return :

 "Repository 'https://github.com/czproject/git-php.git' not found.", "file": "/var/www/vendor/czproject/git-php/src/GitRepository.php", "line": 28, 

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello!

I see two options:

1) Use empty local repository

$git = new CzProject\GitPhp\Git; $repo = $git->init(__DIR__ . '/empty-repo'); $repo->addRemote('origin', 'https://github.com/czproject/git-php'); var_dump($repo->execute('ls-remote', '--heads', 'origin'));

2) Use CliRunner directly and run command ls-remote manually

$runner = new CzProject\GitPhp\Runners\CliRunner; var_dump($runner->run(__DIR__, ['ls-remote', '--heads', 'https://github.com/czproject/git-php'])->getOutput());

@janpecha thank you for your answer, really appreciate your help.
Any idea why when I change the remote to ssh like this :

$runner = new CzProject\GitPhp\Runners\CliRunner; var_dump($runner->run(__DIR__, ['ls-remote', '--heads', ' "git@github.com:czproject/git-php.git"])->getOutput()); 

I got this error message"Host key verification failed. fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.", ! Cheers!

I don't know why, if I changed repository address, it worked too:

$runner = new CzProject\GitPhp\Runners\CliRunner; var_dump($runner->run(__DIR__, ['ls-remote', '--heads', "git@github.com:nette/utils.git"]));
