You can use sshpass. You do not need to generate the keys.

Example (change line 29):
sshpass -p "password" rsync -vzre ssh --delete "$tmpdir/" $LIVE

Install sshpass on Ubuntu:
# sudo apt-get install sshpass -y

Hi, can I use it in shared hosting?

@jayralencar Yes, you can, as long as your shared host has Git installed (and you can SSH into your account, of course). I've even seen a page where the user compiled and installed Git in their home directory, but your hosting provider might not like it.
