Git pull inside root crontab

crontab-git-update.sh

# Git repository may not allow root to pull down updates
# Pull updates where $user is allowed to read/write remote.
# command line:
su -s /bin/sh $user -c 'cd /var/www/html/src && /usr/bin/git pull origin master'

# crontab (by executing sudo opens up root crontab)
sudo crontab -e 

# every 1 minute pull changes (if any)

Sorry I didn't get the context of
your comment. @FlyCorp

@jazlopez that's brazilian slang for "very cool"

oh finally a smart guy who thinks like me.. thank you bro.

@RaulSofia @myalcin81 thank you folks

I changed it a bit like below;

* * * * * su -s /bin/sh my -c 'cd /mydir && /usr/bin/git fetch --all && /usr/bin/git reset --hard origin/master && /usr/bin/git pull origin master'

It was going to stuck on some changes like if you update a file in local, git pull would be aborted to not overwrite local changes, with the changes I did, now its overwrite, it always pull.

Also there are some tricky issues like if you have a untracked files in your local, it won't be updated. If you overwrite those, you should clean up first:
git clean -d -f .

@myalcin81 thank you for sharing your version.
