GIT source control using saveflow from node-red-contrib-flowman
This flow is a very simplistic example of use of saveflow with git on the server (with NR running as the right user....). you will need to install https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-red-contrib-flowman to use this flow.
It uses a 'form' ui element to allow a commit message to be entered and submitted, saves ALL flows, and then runs a script to commit.
Change '/home/simon/flows/admin' in the save node and '/home/simon/flows/commit.sh' in the exec node and '/home/simon/flows' in the commit.sh to your liking.
I use this in combination with SourceTree to pull the git repo over ssh from my linux server into my 'main' repos on my windows machine, so that I don't ever have to login to the server in order to manage the 'source'.
So basically, now I can hack about my flows, and with each major change, commit them to git, and with the .js files being tracked outside of the flows, I can see exactly what I changed and when, and revert changes I don;t want manually in the NR editor.
The script 'commit.sh' is:
#!/bin/sh
cd /home/simon/flows
git add .
git commit -m "$1"
