Switch back to Node-RED, open the menu (top-right hamburger icon), select Projects, and then click "New".
Choose Clone Repository and double-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 might prompt you to create default project files. If so, you can select Create default project file.
Node-RED gives you the option to encrypt your flow credentials files before they are added to Git. Turning on encryption is strongly recommended, as it helps keep sensitive information safe. Make sure to store the encryption key in a secure place. You will need it if you ever want to decrypt your credentials.
When you are ready, click Create project files to finish setting up your project.
