Automatic backup and versioning of n8n workflows to Git

This workflow automatically backs up n8n workflows to GitHub with change detection and commit management, enabling reliable version control and rollback capabilities. Ideal for developers and teams running n8n in production.

## Who it´s for
- n8n developers who want to maintain backups of their workflows
- Automation engineers using GitHub for versioning
- Teams using n8n in production environments requiring change tracking
- Administrators setting up scheduled backup routines for automations

## What the automation does
- Triggers manually or on a schedule (cron)
- Retrieves current n8n workflows via internal API
- Checks if corresponding JSON file exists in target GitHub repository
- Compares content: updates file with ´different´ flag if changed
- Creates new file with ´new´ flag if missing
- Commits changes with descriptive message

## What´s included
- Ready-to-use workflow for n8n + GitHub sync automation
- Trigger and handler logic (cron, manual execution)
- Integrations with GitHub API, n8n internal API, and HTTP API
- Basic textual instructions for setup and adaptation

## Requirements for setup
- Access to an n8n instance with read permissions for workflows
- GitHub account with repository access (via SSH or Personal Access Token)
- Configured environment variables (API keys, repo URL, directory path)

## Benefits and outcomes
- Protection against loss of n8n configurations
- Full version history via Git
- Ability to roll back to previous workflow versions
- Integration into CI/CD pipelines between staging and production
- Automation of routine backup tasks
- Transparent audit trail with detailed commit types
