To execute a "git pull" command using a cronjob, you can create a cronjob that runs the "git pull" command at specific intervals. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Open your terminal and type the following command to edit the crontab file:
1
crontab -e


  1. Add a new line at the end of the crontab file with the following format:
1
* * * * * cd /path/to/your/git/repository && git pull


Replace "/path/to/your/git/repository" with the actual path to your git repository. This cronjob will run the "git pull" command every minute.

  1. Save and exit the crontab file. The command will now run at the specified interval, and the git repository will be updated using "git pull".


Please note that you may need to configure git to store your credentials or use SSH keys to avoid being prompted for a password when running the "git pull" command.
