How to git ls-remote tags in a specific branch

Question

Before cloning a repository, I want to list all the tags in the master branch to filter and finally retrieve a subset of required commits without transferring any additional data.

Is it possible to use git ls-remote to list all tags in a particular branch?

Answer 1

git ls-remote can list branches, tags or heads (branches+tags); it can list all or filter by name but it cannot filter by commit graph because it cannot access commits in the remote repository.

Answer 2

git tag --list --merged <branchName>

would do the job on a repo you already have locally. Could it help your case?

I guess not unless you somehow have access to the remote machine itself.
