Backup your credentials to GitHub
n8n template #2307Summary
Use templateBased on Jonathan's work. Check out his templates. This workflow will backup your credentials to GitHub. It uses a CLI command to export all credentials. 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. Config Options repo.owner - Github owner repo.name - Github repository name repo.path - Path within the Github repository ⚠ The credentials are all decrypted. Make sure you save them safely or tweak the CLI command to store them encrypted.== Check out my other templates 👉 https://n8n.io/creators/solomon/
