# 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.

* 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.

# OPTIONS

Same as git-annex or git-shell, depending on the command being run.

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.
