Question

I have run this command with root:

    [root@localhost git-shell-commands]# ssh [email protected]
    [email protected]'s password: 
    Last login: Wed Jun 20 15:08:26 2012 from new-host.home
    fatal: Interactive git shell is not enabled.
    hint: ~/git-shell-commands should exist and have read and execute access.
    Connection to 192.168.1.12 closed.
    [root@localhost git-shell-commands]# 

Anybody could told how to solve that problem?

Solution

git help shell gives some pointers on how to set it up. The hint in the output also. The git user need a subdirectory called git-shell-commands in its home directory, with appropriate permissions, and populated with the things you want the user to be able to run.
