+### Install Git versioning on your server
+
+A convenient way to maintain your Strapi application and update it during and after initial development is to use [Git Versioning](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-About-Version-Control). In order to use Git Versioning, you will need to have Git installed on your Droplet. Droplets should have Git installed by default, so you will check and if not installed, you will need to install it.
+
+1. Check to see if `Git` is installed, if you see a `git version 2.x.x` then you have get installed. Check with the following command:
+
+```bash
+git --version
+```

+
+### Deploy from Github
+
+You will next deploy your Strapi project to your Droplet by `cloning it from GitHub`.
+
+From your terminal, `logged in as your non-root user` to your Droplet:
+
+```bash
+cd ~
+sudo git clone https://github.com/your-name/your-project-repo.git
+```
+
+Next, navigate to the `my-project` folder, the root for Strapi. You will now need to run `sudo npm install` to install the packages for your project, and then `sudo npm run postinstall`. This last command runs scripts that build out your Strapi installation.
+
+`Path: ./my-project/`
+
+```bash
+sudo npm install && sudo npm run postinstall
+```
+
+Strapi uses `Port: 1337` by default. You will need to configure your `ufw firewall` to allow access to this port:
+
+```bash
+sudo ufw allow 1337/tcp
+```
+
+Your Strapi project is now installed on your **Droplet**. You will next need to [install and configure PM2 Runtime](#install-and-configure-pm2-runtime).
+
+### Install and configure PM2 Runtime
+
+[PM2 Runtime](https://pm2.io/doc/en/runtime/overview/?utm_source=pm2&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=rebranding) allows you to keep your Strapi project alive and to reload it without downtime. You will want to install it globally:
+
+```bash
+sudo npm install pm2@latest -g
+```
+
+Use the following command to set the environment variable to production and start `pm2`:
+
+```bash
+sudo NODE_ENV=production pm2 start --name="strapi" server.js -i max
+```
+
+Your `Strapi` project is now accessible at: `your-ip-address:1337/admin`, in the sections to follow, are a few recommended additional actions to make developing your project more effecient and to set-up a few additional aspects of your server.
