Backup n8n Workflows to Gitea Git Repository

This workflow provides a robust automation for backing up your entire n8n workflow library to a Git repository on Gitea. Triggered on a schedule, it fetches all workflows via the n8n API, encodes them into a Git-compatible JSON format, and commits/pushes changes to the specified repository. This eliminates manual exports, ensuring your automations are always versioned and recoverable.

Key benefits include seamless disaster recovery, historical tracking of workflow changes, and team collaboration through Git. Ideal for production n8n environments, it supports compliance and auditing by maintaining a complete, tamper-proof history of your automations. With just three global variables to configure (repo URL, name, owner) and Gitea token auth, setup takes under 5 minutes.

Use cases span devops teams managing complex automations, enterprises needing backup compliance, and IoT deployments where workflow reliability is critical. Integrate it into Industrial IoT setups to safeguard device management and data pipeline workflows against failures. Advanced nodes handle API fetches, data processing, and Git operations (get/put/post) for reliable execution every time.

No more lost workflows or tedious exports—gain peace of mind with automated, Git-powered backups tailored for n8n users.
