Access SSH and git sync by shell script

Question

We have a server ( hosting ) and we need to git pull every morning by manually. We have tried to make it easier by a shell script file.

# /bin/bash

# add key
ssh-add /Users/ownner/Documents/keys/key.pem
# Access the server
ssh [email protected] -p18181
# Wait and type the password

# Each to check
echo "Hello, I am in the server now"

# Move to the folder
cd www/folder1/public_html/wp-content/plugins

# Git pull
find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -print -exec git -C {} pull \;

It works fine until adding the password. But it is not working after that. The less of code work when I "exit" ssh.

I believe I have missed something. FYI, We actually need to git pull on 6 folders. ( folder1, folder2, folder3, folder4, folder5, folder6 ). So we will use "for each" for the loop.

Can you please give us a tip how the cd, git pull work after login ( access ) the server?

Thank you,

Check man ssh. ssh foo@bar [command]. So you can append commands to the ssh-line. — kometen

Try and put the last three command in a script, in the remote server, in an interactive SSH session.

You can make that script as elaborate as you need, finding folders, and executing git pull on each one.
The point is: once the script work on the remote server, then you can call it with a non-interactive SSH call:

ssh [email protected] -p18181 /path/to/remote/script

Note: if you have a local public key.pub, you could copy it to the remote server ~myusername/.ssh/authorized_keys, and you would not have to enter the myusername password anymore.
