Backup Workflows to Git Repository on GitHub

[Source code](https://code.swecha.org/shashikanth/n8n-templates/-/tree/main/backup-workflows), I maintain this workflow here. # Usage Guide This workflow backs up all workflows as JSON files named in the `[workflow_name].json` format. ## Steps 1. **Create GitHub Repository** - Skip this step if using an existing repository. 2. **Add GitHub Credentials** - In **Credentials**, add the GitHub credential for the repository owner. 3. **Download and Import Workflow** - Import this workflow into n8n. 4. **Set Global Values** - In the **Globals** node, set the following: - `repo.owner`: GitHub username of the repository owner. - `repo.name`: Name of the repository for backups. - `repo.path`: Path to the folder within the repository where workflows will be saved. 5. **Configure GitHub Nodes** - Edit each GitHub node in the workflow to use the added credentials. ## Workflow Logic Each workflow run handles files based on their status: 1. **New Workflow** - If a workflow is new, create a new file in the repository. 2. **Unchanged Workflow** - If the workflow is unchanged, skip to the next item. 3. **Changed Workflow** - If a workflow has changes, update the corresponding file in the repository. ## Current Limitations / Needs work 1. **Name Change of Workflows** - If a workflow is renamed or deleted in n8n, the old file remains in the repository. 2. **Deleted Workflows** - Deleted workflows in n8n are not removed from the repository.
