Hi Geertjan, Thanks. It looks like you simply opened that directory as a project? I was hoping to keep the src separated from the generated/dependency stuff - that's why I was looking to create a new project from one of the existing project templates and put all the nb/dependencies in the NetBeansProjects/ folder and just point to 'src' in the my_apps folder in my git repository.
If I wanted to do this, would I use "HTML5/JS Application with Existing Sources" or "Node.js Application with Existing Sources"?
