git-shell(1)
============

NAME
----
git-shell - Restricted login shell for GIT-only SSH access


SYNOPSIS
--------
'$(git --exec-path)/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.

			`SYNOPSIS`
			`--------`
Documentation formatting and cleanup Following what appears to be the predominant style, format names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`. While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font) The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics, as is usual for command names in manpages.

documentation: move git(7) to git(1) As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user level, it seems better to move it to man section 1.
