To connect Node-RED to a remote repository, follow these steps (the example here uses GitHub, but the process is similar for other platforms):
- Add your public key in your chosen platform's settings.
- Retrieve the SSH URL for your Git repository.
You can either create a new repository or use an existing one. On GitHub, open your repository, go to Settings, then Deploy keys, and click Add deploy key. Paste in the public key you copied earlier, give it a clear name such as "Node-RED", tick the Allow write access box, and click Add key.
Add public key on GitHub
Return to your repository's Code tab and copy the SSH URL. This will generally look like [email protected]:<yourOrganization>/<yourRepositoryName>.git. If you are working with an existing repository, you will find this URL by clicking the Clone or download button.
