Introduction to Node-RED Projects

Node-RED 0.18 introduces the new Projects feature. This is a new way for managing your flow files, with version control built in. This video shows how to enable the feature and get started with it.
For more about Node-RED, visit nodered.org
Node-RED is a project of the JS Foundation - js.foundation/

Awesome job! I love this. Normally I backup my flows every other month, which has actually screwed me once cause I lost changes from the month prior. This should make things WAY EASIER! Thank you very much for your continued development!

Great video! We also used to save the flow file in our git repo, and had trouble tracking its changes... We solved it with a script that breaks the file to multiple json files (one per node), and one main auto-generated js file that require() them. We saved the autogenerated files in the source control, not the original flows file. I think that by-default the flows should be saved in multiple files, possibly in some directory tree (directory per tab), so every git GUI could easily display diffs.
I am not recommending our autogenerated js-file though. It was a hack. The loading process should simply recognize that the flow is built from multiple files, and load them accordingly.

Hello, is possible to use a cronJob to push commit every day? I dont want to push after a deploy, because sometimes I will just test some infos

[@wlan3517]

Nicely done.. The settings.js file has been updated - is there any chance to update the instructions video too? Greetings from Austria

[@christianmeinert8806]

Hi Nick, thank you for the great "step by step" tutorial. There is one "big step" I have a problem with. On 08:40 you make the step to a github project you "created" ... My question is. What is the best way to get my local git project I created following your steps (before 08:30) "safely" to github. I always mess up these steps.

[@Node-RED]

Hi Christian. Please ask on the forum where we can have a proper discussion. RUclips comments not the best venue for support.

what to do now ? where did i go wrong ?

[@dhruvpurwar6642]

Hey, did u got the solution?

[@dretwav]

If you have multiple projects and you start node-red. do the flows in all projects start or just the open project?

[@knolleary]

Just the open project

[@dretwav]

@@knolleary Thanks. I can see why it is that way but complicates things if you are working on a new project but need the old one to be running. Would you suggest developing the new one by running a second instance of node-red on a different port or is there a better way?

[@siddharthgosai2713]

done same thing but getting " warn/error Projects disabled : git command not found "

[@knolleary]

Hi - its best to ask questions on the Node-RED Forum (linked at nodered.org) where the wider community can help. In this instance, the error is exactly what it says - it cannot find the `git` command line tool, which you need to install.

[@LegacyUntouched]

this seems outdated. After creating a project, I do not get even half the properties in the information tab that you show.

Hi Nick, great video but please consider the following for a motor mechanic to understand
.41 how to get settings File is this via GitHub with text editor included
1.05 how to run node red from where is this via command prompt or can I run this via Raspberry pi
1.22 it would be great if I could get to this stage of loading up my browser but only have been able to load up my browser via node red tick box in dashboard next to the site tab.
Maybe there is a consideration for a high-level beginners user interface to get started
Nick any help is a great help in my book, I.m the self-appointed No1 fan of nodered.
