Is “refs/heads/master” same as “refs/remotes/origin/master” in Git?

refs/heads/master is a branch in your working copy named master. Frequently that is a tracking branch of refs/remotes/origin/master because origin is the default name for the remote created by git clone and its primary branch is usually also named master.git rev-list refs/heads/master..refs/remotes/origin/master which will be empty if they are the same and will otherwise list the commits between them.Found this configuration in eclipse:
Not sure what the different of:
refs/heads/master - refs/remotes/origin/master
vs
+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
is * = wildcard?

refs/heads/ are branches that, when you have one checked out, you can advance by creating new commits. Those under refs/remotes/, however, are so-called "remote-tracking branches" - these refs just point to the commit that a remote repository was at the last time you did a git fetch <name-of-remote>, or a successful git push to the corresponding branch in that remote repository. (I wrote a blog post that talks about this difference at some length here.)https://longair.net/blog/2009/04/16/git-fetch-and-merge/
