Git auto-pull using cronjob

Question

Answer 1

*/1 * * * * su -s /bin/sh nobody -c 'cd /home/heilee/src/project && /usr/bin/git pull origin master'

This corrects a couple errors that prevented the accepted answer from working on my system (Ubuntu >10.04 server). The key change seems to be the -q after the pull rather than before. You won't notice that your pull isn't working until you tail the /var/log/syslog file or try to run your non-updated production code.
