git-shell − Restricted login shell for Git−only SSH access
git shell [−c <command> <argument>]
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.
