Restore your workflows from GitHub

Description

This workflow restores all n8n instance workflows from GitHub backups using the n8n API node. It complements the Backup Your Workflows to GitHub template by allowing users to seamlessly restore previously saved workflows.

How It Works
The workflow fetches workflows stored in a GitHub repository and imports them into your n8n instance.

Setup Instructions
To configure the workflow, update the Globals node with the following values:

repo.owner** – Your GitHub username
repo.name** – The name of your GitHub repository storing the workflows
repo.path** – The folder path within the repository where workflows are stored

For example, if your GitHub username is john-doe, your repository is named n8n-backups, and workflows are stored in a workflows/ folder, you would set:

repo.owner → john-doe
repo.name → n8n-backups
repo.path → workflows/

Required Credentials
GitHub API** – Access to your repository
n8n API** – To import workflows into your n8n instance

Who Is This For?
