Chapter 8: Using the Project Feature with Git

What you will learn in this chapter is a very useful Project feature. The project feature of Node-RED is a kind of version management tool with Git on a Node-RED flow editor. This is actually disabled by default. Enabling this allows you to manage your flows in a new way. I believe many developers are familiar with Git services such as GitHub and GitLab. The project feature of Node-RED uses Git and GitHub for version control, so I think it's very easy to understand.

Here are the topics that we will be covering in this chapter:

Enabling the project feature
Using the Git repository
Connecting a remote repository

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to understand how to use the project feature, how to connect your own Git repository to your Node-RED flow editor, and how to manage flows as projects with version control tool Git.

By the end of this chapter, you will have mastered how to use the project...
