About:
GitSsh is a lightweight proxy server that enables serving Git repositories over SSH without requiring a full shell user account. It intercepts SSH connections and routes them to local Git repositories, providing a secure and simplified way to host Git services. This tool is particularly useful for containerized environments or restricted systems where traditional SSH access is not desired.

Key Features:

Acts as an SSH proxy for Git operations
Eliminates need for dedicated shell users
Simple configuration for repository access
Lightweight and easy to deploy

Use Cases:

Hosting private Git repositories in containerized environments
Providing Git access without full shell account privileges
Simplifying Git server setup for small teams

Alternatives:

git-shell – Built-in Git restricted shell, but requires user account management
gitolite – More feature-rich but heavier and more complex to configure
