Back Up Your n8n Workflows on GitHub

This workflow will backup your workflows to GitHub. It uses the public API to export all of the workflow data using the n8n node. It then loops over the data, checks in GitHub to see if a file exists that uses the workflow name. Once checked, it will then update the file on GitHub if it exists, create a new file if it doesn't exist, and if it's the same, it will ignore the file. ### Config Options **repo_owner** - GitHub owner **repo_name** - GitHub repository name **repo_path** - Path within the GitHub repository This workflow has been updated to use the n8n node and the code node, so it requires at least version 0.198.0 of n8n.
