+If you can "ssh linkdrop@rd-admin-01.mozillamessaging.com" then these instructions will work for you.  If not, contact gozer and don't bother with this until you can ssh into the box.
+
+
+-Initial setup on local machine:
+
+> git clone git@github.com:mozilla/f1.git
+> cd f1
+> git remote add production linkdrop@rd-admin-01.mozillamessaging.com:f1-prod
+> git branch prod
+
+-Switch to a branch
+
+> git checkout prod
+
+-Merge from master branch on production to the current branch:
+
+> git pull production master
+
+-Push from our prod branch to the master branch on production:
+
+> git push production prod:master
+
+-Merge from master branch on github (f1) into our current branch:
+
+> git pull origin master
+
+
+What I've been doing when I want to push to production:
+
+git checkout prod
+git pull production master
+git pull origin master
+git push production prod:master
+git checkout master
+
+That can all be simplified later via git config file (and there may be a better way to do it anyway).  When you push to production, you will see a lot of output.  I'd pipe that to a file and then examine the file for any errors.  That output is basically a sync to the live servers as a git hook in the push.  As I understand from gozer, there is also a cron job that checks every few minutes in case the update from push fails.
+
+I'm not certain about git branches yet, so be sure you do NOT push to origin from the prod branch.
