HG-SSH(8) Mercurial Manual HG-SSH(8)
NAME
hg-ssh - restricted ssh login shell for Mercurial
SYNOPSIS
hg-ssh repositories...
DESCRIPTION
hg-ssh is a wrapper for ssh access to a limited set of mercurial repos.
To be used in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys with the "command" option, see sshd(8): com-
mand="hg-ssh path/to/repo1 /path/to/repo2 ~/repo3 ~user/repo4" ssh-dss ... (probably to-
gether with these other useful options: no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-for-
warding)
This allows pull/push over ssh from/to the repositories given as arguments.
If all your repositories are subdirectories of a common directory, you can allow shorter
paths with: command="cd path/to/my/repositories && hg-ssh repo1 subdir/repo2"
You can use pattern matching of your normal shell, e.g.: command="cd repos && hg-ssh
user/thomas/* projects/{mercurial,foo}"
You can also add a --read-only flag to allow read-only access to a key, e.g.: com-
mand="hg-ssh --read-only repos/*"
BUGS
Probably lots, please post them to the mailing list (see Resources below) when you find
them.
