# Backup n8n workflows to GitLab on schedule or manually
This automation exports n8n workflows and credentials to a local directory, commits changes to a Git repository, and pushes them to a remote (e.g., GitLab). It runs every 6 hours via cron or on manual trigger, ensuring versioned backups, audit trail, and rollback capability for n8n configurations.
## Who it´s for
- n8n administrators needing reliable configuration backups.
- DevOps engineers managing automation versions in a controlled environment.
- Teams using GitLab as a central repository for n8n configuration storage and collaboration.
## What the automation does
- Exports current n8n workflows and credentials to a local directory.
- Stages changes in a local Git repository with timestamped commits.
- Pushes updates to a remote Git repository (e.g., GitLab).
- Supports both scheduled execution (cron) and manual triggering.
- Maintains full change history and enables rollback to any previous state.
## What´s included
- Ready-to-use n8n workflow using executeCommand.
- Trigger logic: cron_schedule and manual execution.
- Integrations with local filesystem and Git via CLI.
- Compatibility with GitLab as remote repository.
- Basic text instructions for setup and adaptation.
## Requirements for setup
- Access to n8n instance with permissions to export workflows and credentials.
- Local Git repository configured with remote (e.g., GitLab).
- SSH key or access token for GitLab authentication.
- Shell command execution rights (via executeCommand) in n8n.
## Benefits and outcomes
- Automated, versioned backups without manual intervention.
- Protection against data loss due to errors or misconfigurations.
- Audit trail of who changed what and when.
- Fast recovery from incidents by reverting repository state.
- Support for DevOps practices: Infrastructure-as-Code, CI/CD, change tracking.
- Reduced single-point-of-failure risk — all history stored in Git.
## Important: template only
Important: you are purchasing a ready-made automation workflow template only. Rollout into your infrastructure, connecting specific accounts and services, 1:1 setup help, custom adjustments for non-standard stacks and any consulting support are provided as a separate paid service at an individual rate. To discuss custom work or 1:1 help, contact via chat
