I have created a droplet. This droplet is all set up with Python, Django, and Postgres. Now I want this droplet to use my existing django project instead of dummy django project that is live on my droplet. How can I do this ?

Hi there,
What I could suggest is to create a private GitHub repository and push your existing project there.
Then on your Droplet, you could use the git clone command and clone your project from GitHub to the Droplet and change the dummy files with your actual project.
After that you could still make the changes to your local project and then push them to GitHub and pull them to your Droplet.
Let me know how it goes!
Alternatively you could use the DigitalOcean App platform as it would automate the whole process for you:

Heya,
The best solution I think is to have your code in github as a repository . This will ensure that you can track changes you’ve done and even revert back to a previous state if something goes wrong. Not to mention that you would be able to use that project (if needed) on other workplaces without going through the hassle to manually migrate it.
