hello,

How to list files on GIT ? Example, git to the server with the project, and type ls.
A bit like FTP.

Code:

ncftp ftp.gnu.org 
ls

On GIT?

Kind regardss

I'm not as familiar with the command line for git, but here's what I would do, knowing what I know.

I would first do:

Code:

git clone <repository>

Then, go into the local directory where you cloned it, and ls there. If you want to do it by command line, that's what I would do. You could also get github desktop, and use that.

Did that solve the problem?

Try git ls-tree and git ls-files.

If you prefer not to "ride the pony bareback," there are also a number of really-good GUI tools for every operating system. I find them very convenient when I want to "browse" a repository.

I got the feeling — based on the fact that he mentioned ftp — that he wants to be able to query files in a remote repo. ls-tree will require at least a 'fetch' and ls-files works on a checked out working directory/index.

Short answer to the question is that git's interactions with remote repositories are very limited. It isn't a file-server and one shouldn't try and treat it as such.
