============

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').
