Enable Node-RED to work with git source control

Node-RED applications consist of flow files and optionally a credential file (`.json` files) and a runtime (some `.js` files), which is a Node.js application. A package.json file captures all the required Node.js and Node-RED nodes that the flow needs. These are the application code files that you will store in a git project repo.
