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.
