Bidirectional n8n-GitHub Workflow Sync & Version Control
Automates weekly bidirectional sync of n8n workflows with GitHub repos, handling new, missing, and updated versions based on timestamps for seamless version control.
This workflow enables n8n administrators, automation engineers, and DevOps teams to maintain perfect synchronization between n8n instances and GitHub repositories. Running on a weekly schedule every Monday, it fetches all workflows from n8n, compares them against GitHub files, and intelligently syncs changes: uploading n8n-only workflows to GitHub, creating GitHub-only ones in n8n, and updating the newer version in both directions.
Key benefits include eliminating manual backups, preventing version conflicts, and ensuring disaster recovery through automated JSON exports with timestamped commits. It handles file naming, encoding, and descriptive commit messages automatically, saving hours of maintenance time for growing automation teams.
Ideal use cases: DevOps pipelines for workflow management, team collaborations on automations, and compliance-driven backup strategies. Setup requires only GitHub Personal Access Token (repo perms) and n8n API credentials, making it quick to deploy across self-hosted or cloud n8n instances.
