| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-shell - Restricted login shell for Git-only SSH access |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git shell' [-c <command> <argument>] |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| |
| A login shell for SSH accounts to provide restricted Git access. When |
| '-c' is given, the program executes <command> non-interactively; |
| <command> can be one of 'git receive-pack', 'git upload-pack', 'git |
| upload-archive', 'cvs server', or a command in COMMAND_DIR. The shell |
| is started in interactive mode when no arguments are given; in this |
| case, COMMAND_DIR must exist, and any of the executables in it can be |
| invoked. |
| |
| 'cvs server' is a special command which executes git-cvsserver. |
| |
| COMMAND_DIR is the path "$HOME/git-shell-commands". The user must have |
| read and execute permissions to the directory in order to execute the |
| programs in it. The programs are executed with a cwd of $HOME, and |
| <argument> is parsed as a command-line string. |
