No Project in Node-RED

[sajidb]

I have followed the steps mentioned in this link enabling the project in settings.js:
https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/projects/

But there is no dialogue box coming for project neither can I find the option in Node-RED:
Can someone help me to solve this issue?

[knolleary]

What does Node-RED log on startup? If it has not been able to enable the projects feature (such as being unable to find the git command) it will have reported it in the log.

This is the log:

16 May 11:53:31 - [warn] Projects disabled : git command not found

I think this is the warning of the project. Now how to solve it?

[knolleary]

From the docs you link to:

The feature relies on having the git and ssh-keygen command line tools available. Node-RED will check for them on start-up and let you know if they are missing.

So you need to install those tools yourself.

[knolleary]

git and ssh-keygen are not node.js modules you install with npm.

Install Git | Atlassian Git Tutorial

[sajidb]

Okay. Thanks a lot. Right now it's working fine if I run node-red from Git Bash. Do I have to isntall Git to work on CLI so that I can run it on command prompt as well?
Is that right?

[akszyn_pl]

I think I also have a similar problem because the dialog box does not appear despite the change from false to true, and I have no errors in the logs, and besides, where to look for this git and ssh-keygen

can it somehow be manually installed to make it work?

[zenofmud]

@akszyn_pl

where to look for this git and ssh-keygen

did you try google? ("how to install ?????")

[akszyn_pl]

Previously, I tried node-red-contrib-git-ui but without successfully, but how I installed it termux-tools and git it's only then did this dialog box appear and the configuration went smoothly but I can't see anything new on my github despite making a few changes to the flow and making a few manual and a few automatic commits
