Go back to Node-RED, open the menu (top-right hamburger icon), select Projects, and then click "New".
Choose Clone Repository and check your username and email settings. Paste the SSH URL of your repository into the Git repository URL field (for example, [email protected]:<yourOrganization>/<yourRepositoryName>.git) and click Clone Project.
If you are using a new repository, Node-RED may prompt you to create default project files. If so, select Create default project file.
Node-RED offers you the option to encrypt your flow credentials files before adding them to Git. It is strongly recommended to enable encryption to protect sensitive information. Be sure to keep the encryption key in a secure place. You will need it if you wish to decrypt your credentials later.
When everything is ready, click Create project files to finalise your project setup.
