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.
