| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-shell - Restricted login shell for GIT-only SSH access |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| '$(git --exec-path)/git-shell' -c <command> <argument> |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| This is meant to be used as a login shell for SSH accounts you want |
| to restrict to GIT pull/push access only. It permits execution only |
| of server-side GIT commands implementing the pull/push functionality. |
| The commands can be executed only by the '-c' option; the shell is not |
| interactive. |
| |
| Currently, only four commands are permitted to be called, 'git-receive-pack' |
| 'git-upload-pack' and 'git-upload-archive' with a single required argument, or |
| 'cvs server' (to invoke 'git-cvsserver'). |
