hello guys,

I know how to export and import the node red flows, but i want to make up the backup via bash script. Is there any specific file, that have all the flows, so that i could easily only send this file from my linux server to my github.

Thank you very much for your support

Perhaps you can use the ['projects' feature](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/projects/), flows can be pushed to a git repo.
