Version Control n8n Workflows in GitLab with Custom and Organization
## How it works
- Triggers manually or on schedule (03:00 daily by default)
- Fetches workflows tagged `backup-workflows` via n8n API
- Normalizes workflow names and applies `[customer: NAME]` tag convention
- Prepares JSON in the same structure as an n8n UI export
- Checks GitLab repository:
- Create new file if missing
- Update file if content differs
- Skip if unchanged
- Logs results with recap (created, updated, unchanged, total)
## Set up steps
- Configure your GitLab credentials in n8n
- Create a repository and branch for workflow backups
- Set global variables (owner, project, branch, backup path)
- Tag workflows to include with `backup-workflows`
- Run manually once to test, then enable the schedule

How to import this workflow into n8n
1Purchase or download the workflow to get the n8n workflow JSON file.
2In your n8n instance, open Workflows and choose "Import from File" (or paste the JSON with Ctrl+V on the canvas).
3Open each node marked with a credential warning and connect your own accounts and API keys.
4Run the workflow once manually to verify the data flow, then toggle it to Active.
