#+TITLE: Shackle Shell

A shell intended for restricted access on a version control repo server.

This is intended as a replacement for [[https://git-scm.com/docs/git-shell][Git Shell]], but with the additional
commands I want to create new repos, rearrange things, etc built
in.

It will also limit access to only git repos within the file hierarchy I use.

Additionally, this may support passthrough for other version control system like
Pijul.

* Roadmap

- [X] interactive command prompt
- [X] non-interactive commands can be run with -c
