Hello all

I have been working on Magento2 from quiet a while and getting my hands on its development & deployment. I know it always happens when you develop or customise something and keep on refreshing the page, but you does not get the desired results.

Therefore I have created a quick checklist to make sure all boxes are ticked before you go live. I have also included the commands so that its handy to run them in order

php bin/magento deploy:mode:set production
