⚙️ Backup your workflows to GitHub

Description
Based on Jonathan’s work. Check out his templates.
How it works
This workflow will backup your workflows to GitHub. It uses the n8n API node to export all workflows.
It then loops over the data, checks in GitHub to see if a file exists that uses the credential’s 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.
Who is this for?
People wanting to backup their workflows outside the server for safety purposes or to migrate to another server.
