| ============ | |
| 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'). | |
