To get started, log in to your Node-RED instance. Click the "hamburger" menu icon in the top-left corner, go to "Projects", and select "New".
Welcome screen
Before you create or clone a project, you will need to generate a public key. Choose the Not right now option if prompted. Next, open the menu (the "hamburger" button in the top-right corner), navigate to Settings, and then head to the Git config section.
In the "Committer Details" area, enter your Git username and email address. These details help link your Git commits to your identity. For consistency, you might prefer setting the username as Node-RED and using an email like nodered@<XXXXXX>.stackhero-network.com.
Git configuration panel
Once you are ready, click the Add key button, give your key a descriptive name, and then click Generate key. You can then use the Copy public key to clipboard option to copy the key before closing the panel.
