# NAME
git-annex-shell - Restricted login shell for git-annex only SSH access
# SYNOPSIS
git-annex-shell [-c] command [params ...]
# DESCRIPTION
git-annex-shell is a restricted shell, similar to git-shell, which
can be used as a login shell for SSH accounts.
Since its syntax is identical to git-shell's, it can be used as a drop-in
replacement anywhere git-shell is used. For example it can be used as a
user's restricted login shell.
# COMMANDS
Any command not listed below is passed through to git-shell.
Note that the directory parameter should be an absolute path, otherwise
it is assumed to be relative to the user's home directory. Also the
first "/~/" or "/~user/" is expanded to the specified home directory.
* configlist directory
This outputs a subset of the git configuration, in the same form as
`git config --list`
* inannex directory [key ...]
This checks if all specified keys are present in the annex,
and exits zero if so.
* dropkey directory [key ...]
This drops the annexed data for the specified keys.
* recvkey directory key
This runs rsync in server mode to receive the content of a key,
and stores the content in the annex.
* sendkey directory key
This runs rsync in server mode to transfer out the content of a key.
* commit
This commits any staged changes to the git-annex branch.
It also runs the annex-content hook.
# OPTIONS
Most options are the same as in git-annex. The ones specific
to git-annex-shell are:
* --uuid=UUID
git-annex uses this to specify the UUID of the repository it was expecting
git-annex-shell to access, as a sanity check.
# HOOK
After content is received or dropped from the repository by git-annex-shell,
it runs a hook, `.git/hooks/annex-content` (or `hooks/annex-content` on a bare
repository). The hook is not currently passed any information about what
changed.
# ENVIRONMENT
* GIT_ANNEX_SHELL_READONLY
If set, disallows any command that could modify the repository.
* GIT_ANNEX_SHELL_LIMITED
If set, disallows running git-shell to handle unknown commands.
