Automate n8n Workflow Backups to GitHub Every 6 Hours

This workflow is designed to automate the backup of all workflows in your n8n instance to a specified GitHub repository. It triggers every 6 hours, fetching all workflows as JSON data, converting them to binary format, and then pushing them to GitHub. The workflow includes logic to check if a backup file already exists and either updates it or creates a new one, ensuring your repository remains organized and up-to-date.
