The Git command-line interface is used for repository discovery and remote tag resolution. Minimum required version: 2.x.

Usage

Command

Purpose

git rev-parse --show-toplevel

Detect the repository root. Exit code 128 means not inside a repo.

git ls-remote --tags <url>

List all tags on a remote repository for version resolution.

Constraints

  • git rev-parse is the only reliable method for repo-root detection; do not substitute with file-system heuristics.

  • git ls-remote requires network access; handle timeouts gracefully.
