iki-git-shell(1)

💖 NAME 💖

iki-git-shell — the ikiwiki-hosting helper 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

iki-git-shell -c command argument

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so bestie, listen. iki-git-shell is literally just a wrapper for git-shell — every parameter you hand it gets passed straight on through to that program. no cap. it's giving middle-manager energy but make it useful 💅

where it really eats is in an ssh authorized_keys file for an ikiwiki-hosting site user. drop it in there and it stacks a whole bunch of safety features on top of incoming commits, which is honestly so iconic of it. those safety features include:

• the ability to park a repo, which stops any changes from happening to it 🛑
• limiting access to only a site's source.git repository and literally no other repositories. that's it. that's the whole list. stay in your lane bestie 🚧

and then, on top of all the regular git-shell commands it runs, there's a very few other commands the remote user is allowed to run:

• logview — tails their site's apache access.log 👀
• logdump — dumps it out 📤

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

• ikisite(1)
• git-shell(1)
