How to get list of git branches in Rails application?

Can I get list of branches in Rails app somehow? I need access to branches list of particular git repository(not repository of my app) in my app. So maybe some gem for this exists ?

**git branch -a**

displays all local and remote branches, while 

**git branch -r**

will display only the remote branches.

The easiest way is just to use the git branch commands’ various options. -a shows all local and remote branches, while -r shows only remote branches.

$ git branch
* master

$ git branch -a
* master
 origin/1-2-stable
 origin/2-0-stable
 origin/2-1-stable
 origin/2-2-stable
 origin/3-0-unstable
 origin/HEAD
 origin/master

$ git branch -r
 origin/1-2-stable
 origin/2-0-stable
 origin/2-1-stable
 origin/2-2-stable
 origin/3-0-unstable
 origin/HEAD
 origin/master
