Hi.

I saw the noticication that the interactive shell service is going to sunset. However I often use it to manage my remote git repositories, including updating branch reference, pruning of unneeded/unwanted objects, as well as configuring server-side hooks to check pushed commits, etc..

How do I accomplish these without the shell? Any suggestion?

    I checked SFTP at frs.sourceforge.net and web.sourceforge.net, they don't have Git repositories mounted.
    Example:

    sftp> cd /home/git
    Couldn't stat remote file: No such file or directory
    sftp> cd /home/git/u/low-power/hello-world.git/
    Couldn't canonicalize: No such file or directory

    Do you mean that I will have to open a support ticket for every operation like these in future? That would very inconvenient.
