Update: I'm now using Lloyd Moore solution with the key agent ssh -A .... Pushing to a main repo and then pulling from it in parallel from all your machines is a bit faster and requires less setup on those machines.

Not seeing this solution here. just push via ssh if git is installed on the server.

You'll need the following entry in your local .git/config

[remote "amazon"]
    url = amazon:/path/to/project.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/amazon/*

But hey, whats that with amazon:? In your local ~/.ssh/config you'll need to add the following entry:

Host amazon
    Hostname 
    User 
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/amazon-private-key

now you can call

git push amazon master
ssh @ 'cd /path/to/project && git pull'

(BTW: /path/to/project.git is different to the actual working directory /path/to/project)
