few ways to approach this:

• Push your code into Git repository, excluding everything that isn't your code (node_modules/**), then pull it in your staging environment, run npm install to restore all dependencies

• create an NPM package out of it , install it via npm in your staging environment (this should also take care of all of the dependencies)

• manual copy/ssh files to your staging environment (this can be automated with Grunt), than restore your dependencies via npm
