-NAME
-----
-git-shell - Restricted login shell for Git-only SSH access
-
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-[verse]
-'chsh' -s $(command -v git-shell) <user>
-'git clone' <user>`@localhost:/path/to/repo.git`
-'ssh' <user>`@localhost`
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-
-This is a login shell for SSH accounts to provide restricted Git access.
-It permits execution only of server-side Git commands implementing the
-pull/push functionality, plus custom commands present in a subdirectory
-named `git-shell-commands` in the user's home directory.
-
-COMMANDS
---------
-
-'git shell' accepts the following commands after the `-c` option:
-
-'git receive-pack <argument>'::
-'git upload-pack <argument>'::
-'git upload-archive <argument>'::
-	Call the corresponding server-side command to support
-	the client's 'git push', 'git fetch', or 'git archive --remote'
-	request.
-'cvs server'::
-	Imitate a CVS server.  See linkgit:git-cvsserver[1].
-
-If a `~/git-shell-commands` directory is present, 'git shell' will
-also handle other, custom commands by running
-"`git-shell-commands/<command> <arguments>`" from the user's home
-directory.
-
-INTERACTIVE USE
----------------
-
-By default, the commands above can be executed only with the `-c`
-option; the shell is not interactive.
-
-If a `~/git-shell-commands` directory is present, 'git shell'
-can also be run interactively (with no arguments).  If a `help`
-command is present in the `git-shell-commands` directory, it is
-run to provide the user with an overview of allowed actions.  Then a
-"git> " prompt is presented at which one can enter any of the
-commands from the `git-shell-commands` directory, or `exit` to close
-the connection.
-
-Generally this mode is used as an administrative interface to allow
-users to list repositories they have access to, create, delete, or
-rename repositories, or change repository descriptions and
-permissions.
-
-If a `no-interactive-login` command exists, then it is run and the
-interactive shell is aborted.
-
-EXAMPLES
---------
-
-To disable interactive logins, displaying a greeting instead:
-
-----------------
-$ chsh -s /usr/bin/git-shell
-$ mkdir $HOME/git-shell-commands
-$ cat >$HOME/git-shell-commands/no-interactive-login <<\EOF
-#!/bin/sh
-printf '%s\n' "Hi $USER! You've successfully authenticated, but I do not"
-printf '%s\n' "provide interactive shell access."
-exit 128
-EOF
-$ chmod +x $HOME/git-shell-commands/no-interactive-login
-----------------
-
-To enable git-cvsserver access (which should generally have the
-`no-interactive-login` example above as a prerequisite, as creating
-the git-shell-commands directory allows interactive logins):
-
-----------------
-$ cat >$HOME/git-shell-commands/cvs <<\EOF
-if ! test $# = 1 && test "$1" = "server"
-then
-	echo >&2 "git-cvsserver only handles \"server\""
-	exit 1
-fi
-exec git cvsserver server
-EOF
-$ chmod +x $HOME/git-shell-commands/cvs
