Restore n8n Credentials from GitHub Backup

This n8n workflow automates the restoration of credentials from a GitHub repository backup. It fetches encrypted credential data stored in your specified GitHub repo and imports them directly into your n8n instance using the n8n API node. Designed as a companion to the 'Backup Your Credentials to GitHub' template, it ensures quick recovery in case of data loss, instance migration, or setup on a new server.

Key benefits include time-saving automation for credential management, reduced risk of manual errors, and secure handling of sensitive data. Users simply configure the Globals node with their GitHub repo details (owner, name, path), set up GitHub API and n8n API credentials, and trigger the workflow. It's particularly valuable for enterprise users managing multiple integrations across environments.

Use cases: Disaster recovery after n8n instance failure, migrating workflows to a new self-hosted n8n setup, or syncing credentials across development/staging/production. Ideal for teams relying on n8n for business operations, ERPs, and process automation, this template minimizes downtime and simplifies credential lifecycle management.
