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.
