+# Install and updates
+
+## Using git
+
+If you manage FreshRSS via command line, then installing and updating FreshRSS can be done via git:
+
+```sh
+# If your local user does not have write access, prefix all commands by sudo:
+sudo ...
+
+# Install FreshRSS
+cd /usr/share/
+git clone https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS.git
+
+# Perform all commands below in your FreshRSS directory:
+cd /usr/share/FreshRSS
+
+# Use the development version of FreshRSS
+git checkout -b dev origin/dev
+
+# Check out a specific version of FreshRSS
+# See release names on https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/releases
+# You will then need to manually change version
+# or checkout master or dev branch to get new versions
+git checkout 1.7.0
+
+# Verify what branch is used
+git branch
+
+# Check whether there is a new version of FreshRSS,
+# assuming you are on the /master or /dev branch
+git fetch --all
+git status
+
+# Discard manual changes (do a backup before)
+git reset --hard
+# Then re-delete the file forcing the setup wizard
+rm data/do-install.txt
+
+# Delete manual additions (do a backup before)
+git clean -f -d
+
+# Update to a newer version of FreshRSS,
+# assuming you are on the /master or /dev branch
+git pull
+
+# Set the rights so that your Web server can access the files
+# (Example for Debian / Ubuntu)
+chown -R :www-data . && chmod -R g+r . && chmod -R g+w ./data/
+```
