 ### Dynamically Pulling code from git
 One of the nice features of this container is its ability to pull code from a git repository with a couple of environmental variables passed at run time. Please take a look at our recommended [repo layout guidelines](https://github.com/ngineered/nginx-php-fpm/blob/master/docs/repo_layout.md).

+### User / Group Identifiers
+
+Sometimes when using data volumes (`-v` flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user `PUID` and optionally the group `PGID`. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.
+
+An example of mapping the UID and GID to the container is as follows:
+
+```
+docker run -d -e "PUID=`id -u $USER`" -e "PGID=`id -g $USER`" -v local_dir:/var/www/html richarvey/nginx-php-fpm:latest
+```
+
+This will pull your local UID/GID and map it into the container so you can edit on your host machine and the code will still run in the container.

 ### Custom Nginx Config files
 Sometimes you need a custom config file for nginx to achieve this read the [Nginx config guide](https://github.com/ngineered/nginx-php-fpm/blob/master/docs/nginx_configs.md)
