Automate GitLab Issues from GitHub Releases

Monitors GitHub repositories weekly for new releases and creates tracking issues in GitLab if none exist, perfect for upstream dependency management.

This n8n workflow automates the process of creating issues in a GitLab repository whenever a new release is published on a GitHub repository. It uses a Cron trigger to run every week, fetching the latest GitHub release. It then cross-references with existing GitLab issues to avoid duplicates, using a custom function to check if an issue with the matching release tag already exists. If not, it creates a new issue with the release URL, body, and tag name in the title. Key benefits include seamles
