Hey guys,  
can I configure NodeRed to download the actual GitHub flow.json at startup.  
I use the new project feature and synchronize all my projects with GitHub.  
I want to write the flows with my PC and if restart my IoT device the actual flow should be downloaded.

Thx

Hi - that is not something that Node-RED will do automatically for you.

You would need to write a wrapper script that does whatever pulling you need to do before Node-RED starts.
