NAME
git-shell - Restricted login shell for GIT-only SSH access
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.
