I have 10 Raspberry Pi's running 10 different flows. I would like to back them all up via git, using the projects feature. I would like to have one repository for all of the flows. Is there a way to have multiple flows in the same Node-Red project/git repository?

Thank you

A Node-RED 'project' contains the full set of flows (tabs), which are all residing in a single flows file.  
If your 10 flows are all running concurrently in the same worksheet, git will backup them all.

Got it. I would like each Raspberry Pi to be running their own sets of flows and then all backup to the same git repository.

Hi @power_factor

It is possible to have multiple NR projects in the same git repository. I don't have a full guide for setting it up, but they key part is the fact you can, under Project Settings, customise what package.json/flow.json the project uses within a repository:

I went with the structure of NR projects. The only solution that made sense to me was git submodules. So one main node red repo. Then a submodule per node red project. Works fairly well, with git both from cmd and NR integrated git client.
