I want to get the hash of last commit that has happened in a remote repo without cloning it. Is there a way to do this ? I found several methods but for all of them to work, I need to clone the repo first and then issue the commands to get the last commit hash.
Is there a way I can get the last commit hash from a remote git without cloning it ?

To pull up a list of your commits and their associated hashes, you can run the git log command. To checkout a previous commit, you will use the Git checkout command followed by the commit hash you retrieved from your Git log.
To find a git commit id (or hash), you can simply use the git log command. This would show you the commit history, listing the commits in chronological order, with the latest commit first.
git ls-remote is one unique command allowing you to query a remote repo without having to clone/fetch it first. It will list refs/heads and refs/tags of said remote repo. It can also help resolve the actual url used by a remote repo when you have " url.
$ git ls-remote https://github.com/gturri/dokuJClient.git
2fb540fc8c7e9116791638393370a2fa0f079737 HEAD
2fb540fc8c7e9116791638393370a2fa0f079737 refs/heads/master
This command can be run from any directory.
If you only want the last sha1, eg to use it in a script, you could then do:
git ls-remote https://github.com/gturri/dokuJClient.git HEAD | awk '{ print $1}'
