I have to run this command to initialize gitosis:
sudo -H -u git gitosis-init < /home/ec2-user/id_rsa.pub
But that asks me for a password for ec2-user:
$ sudo -H -u git gitosis-init < id_rsa.pub
[sudo] password for ec2-user: 
I do not have a password as i use the default .pem key file to login.
I know i can probably login as the git user and do this, but is there any other way?
Update:
Using Linux AMI 12.09 (micro-instance), in region us-east-1 (N. Virginia)
