SHOW GIT BRANCHES¶

Lists the Git repository branches in the specified repository.

See also:: SHOW GIT TAGS, CREATE GIT REPOSITORY, SHOW GIT REPOSITORIES

Syntax¶

SHOW GIT BRANCHES [ LIKE '<pattern>' ] IN [ GIT REPOSITORY ] <repository_name>

Copy

Parameters¶

LIKE 'pattern'

Optionally filters the command output by object name. The filter uses case-insensitive pattern matching, with support for SQL wildcard characters (% and _).

For example, the following patterns return the same results:

... LIKE '%testing%' ...

... LIKE '%TESTING%' ...

. Default: No value (no filtering is applied to the output).

IN [ GIT REPOSITORY ] repository_name: Specifies the Git repository stage containing the branches to show.

Access control requirements¶

A role used to execute this SQL command must have the following privileges at a minimum:

Privilege	Object	Notes
READ	Git repository	Repository containing the branches to show

The USAGE privilege on the parent database and schema are required to perform operations on any object in a schema.

For instructions on creating a custom role with a specified set of privileges, see Creating custom roles.

For general information about roles and privilege grants for performing SQL actions on securable objects, see Overview of Access Control.

Examples¶

The following example lists branches in the Git repository snowflake_extensions.

SHOW GIT BRANCHES IN snowflake_extensions;

Copy

The preceding command generates output such as the following:
