Description

Based 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.==
