Expected behavior

Tinty install to succeed

System

Amazon Linux 2

Terminal:

Alacritty

Minimal configuration file

None

Additional context

Looks like the command is failing when you run: git ls-remote --quiet --branches. The --branches flag does not exist on git 2.40.1, but tinty install previously worked. Is there a way to fix this regression?

[ShiromMakkad]

I checked tinty 0.24.0 and it worked. Looks like the issue is from 5cf3897

Thanks for the PR. Yeah looks like --heads and -h is deprecated and replaced with --branches and -b. I think we can actually just remove that flag. #101
