You can pass the path to your SSH key directly in the GIT_SSH_COMMAND environment variable when using the git pull command. Here's how you can do it:

bash
GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i /path/to/your/private_key" git pull

Replace /path/to/your/private_key with the actual path to your SSH private key file.

Alternatively, you can use the -c flag with the git pull command to set the core.sshCommand configuration temporarily:

bash
git -c core.sshCommand="ssh -i /path/to/your/private_key" pull

Again, replace /path/to/your/private_key with your actual private key file's path.

Both of these methods will use the specified SSH key for authentication when pulling from a remote repository.
