| 13 | DESCRIPTION |
| 14 | ----------- |
| 15 | This is meant to be used as a login shell for SSH accounts you want |
| 16 | to restrict to GIT pull/push access only. It permits execution only |
| 17 | of server-side GIT commands implementing the pull/push functionality. |
| 18 | The commands can be executed only by the '-c' option; the shell is not |
| 19 | interactive. |
| 20 | |
| Junio C Hamano | 3bd66e9 | 2009-04-18 06:17:56 | [diff] [blame] | 21 | Currently, only four commands are permitted to be called, 'git-receive-pack' |
| 22 | 'git-upload-pack' and 'git-upload-archive' with a single required argument, or |
| 23 | 'cvs server' (to invoke 'git-cvsserver'). |
