Hi Everyone,

Is there anyway to create a repo in Gitlab (using nodes) and then push a flow to it every time i deploy ?

Thanks

Did you try a forum search? Try using 'GitHub flow' and you will find some threads.

Actually yeah... i took a quick look on the previous post about it and i've found this post : [Project mode by tabs/flow?](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/project-mode-by-tabs-flow/39864) which is what i really want to do but i don't understand how it works ... Thanks for the reply

Actually when i copied the export to github subflow, i obtained another flow (in another tab) with "inject", "ceredentials", "set msg.commit" and the "Export to github" subflow (the one we see in the picture of the post) so it's a little bit confusing where to tell him which flow i want to export. thanks again for you reply and sorry i didn't explain this to you previously.

Hmm that user did not document his process very well did they. Not only that but I just noticed that this goes to GitHub and you want to go to GitLab so it wouldn't work for you any way.

You could search to see to see if therre is anything for gitLab, but I have no knowledge of GitLab. Sorry
