Restore backed up workflows from GitHub to your n8n workspace. This workflow was inspired by this one that lets you back up your n8n workflows to GitHub. It will let you restore your backed up workflows in your workspace, without creating duplicates. In case of issue with your instance, it will save you a lot of time to restore them. How it works It retrieves the workflows saved in a GitHub repository. Then compares these saved workflows with the ones in your n8n workspace based on the name. It will only create them if they don't already exist. Set up steps Open the "Global" node and set your own information (see Configuration below) Click on "Test workflow" It will run through all the workflows in the GitHub repository, check if the name doesn't already exist in your workspace and, in this case, create it.

This workflow will gather data every minute from the GitHub (https://github.com), Docker (https://www.docker.com/), npm (https://www.npmjs.com/) and Product Hunt (https://www.producthunt.com/) website APIs and display select information on a Smashing (https://smashing.github.io/) dashboard. For convenience sake, the dashboard piece can be easily downloaded as a docker container (https://hub.docker.com/r/tephlon/n8n_dashboard) and installed into your docker environment.
WSave your workflows into a GitHub repository
Basics Provides a mechanism to save all your workflows into a github repository and path (of your choosing). These can then be shared through your entire org and used to track changes (if you make any sad 'oopsies'. Flow Obtains and creates listing of currently configured workflows. Iterates through each workflow looking at the following Github source (if present) Actual workflow code (from N8N) Workflow code is sorted and compared for any changes If changed (or new) the workflows are saved / archived into github. Configuration Most of the configuration is done in the Globals node which houses the repo detail for github nodes. The only other dependency is that it by default looks for a GitHub credential, if you use something other than that precise wording you will need to change the credential used on the respective nodes. We gave it 'Manage' rights, but that was only so that it was able to override a requirement for checks to complete? Most would probably only need 'Write' privileges. Background Well, so we initially started using N8N just as a kubernetes-based service housed with its DB running inside the pod. Worked great for getting to know N8N and we jut kept all our workflow
Backup workflows to git repository on Github
Source code, I maintain this worflow here. Usage Guide This workflow backs up all workflows as JSON files named in the [workflow_name].json format. Steps Create GitHub Repository Skip this step if using an existing repository. Add GitHub Credentials In Credentials, add the GitHub credential for the repository owner. Download and Import Workflow Import this workflow into n8n. 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. 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: New Workflow If a workflow is new, create a new file in the repository. Unchanged Workflow If the workflow is unchanged, skip to the next item. Changed Workflow If a workflow has changes, update the corresponding file in the repository. Current Limitations / Needs work Name Change of Workflows If a workflow is renamed or deleted in n8n, the old file remains in the repository. Deleted Workflows Deleted workflows in n8
