NAME
git-shell - Restricted login shell for GIT over SSH
only
SYNOPSIS
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 the git-receive-pack and git-upload-pack
commands are permitted to be called, with a single required
argument.
