Back Up Your Credentials to GitHub
Based on [Jonathan's](https://n8n.io/creators/jon-n8n/) work. Check out his templates. This workflow will backup your credentials to GitHub. It uses a CLI command to export all credentials. It then loops over the data, checks in GitHub to see if a file exists that uses the credentials ID. Once checked, it will: - Update the file on GitHub if it exists; - Create a new file if it doesn't exist; - Ignore if it's the same. ### Config Options **repo.owner** - GitHub owner **repo.name** - GitHub repository name **repo.path** - Path within the GitHub repository **The credentials are all decrypted. Make sure you save them safely or tweak the CLI command to store them encrypted.** ### Check out my other templates āļøš [**https://n8n.io/creators/solomon/**](https://n8n.io/creators/solomon/)
