# iki-git-shell(1)

ikiwiki-hosting helper

## NAME

iki-git-shell - ikiwiki-hosting helper

## SYNOPSIS

iki-git-shell -c I\<command\> I\<argument\>

## DESCRIPTION

This is a wrapper for git-shell, and the parameters are passed on to that program. Used in a ssh authorized\_keys file for an ikiwiki-hosting site user, it adds several safety features to incoming commits. These include the ability to park a repo, preventing changes, and limiting access to only a site's source.git repository and no other repositories.

In addition to running git-shell commands, a very few other commands can be run by the remote user. "logview" will tail their site's apache access.log, and "logdump" will dump out out.
