i have ssh-agent setup for the user www-data and the password saved for the private key

from root i need to run “sudo -u www-data git pull” so it doesn’t ask for the git private key password. sudo doesn’t run the .bashrc script so not sure how to pull this off?

any suggestions?

    Perhaps you want the -i option? From man sudo:

    -i [command]

    The -i (simulate initial login) option runs the shell specified in the passwd(5) entry of the target user as a login shell. This means that login-specific resource files such as .profile or .login will be read by the shell. If a command is specified, it is passed to the shell for execution. Otherwise, an interactive shell is executed.
