[hemanthbitra]

Hi all,

While checking options with git
i found there is git-shell

Code: Select all

$ git
git                 git-receive-pack    git-shell           git-upload-archive  git-upload-pack 

but when i use git-shell command it showing message as below

Code: Select all

$git-shell
fatal: Interactive git shell is not enabled.
hint: ~/git-shell-commands should exist and have read and execute access.

Can anyone advise on this topic please

Thanks and regards,
Hemanth BITRA

git-shell is a Login Shell (like sh, csh, ksh, bash, zsh, ...) which main purpose is to allow SSH access to git repositories while denying regular user login via SSH.
