Icons describe general node roles, inferred from node types. Inspect the parameters for the configured action.

Drag to pan; use + and − to zoom. Reconstructed from the exported node positions; nothing runs here. Dashed lines represent non-main connections. Full node names and notes appear below.

How it works

The exported workflow contains the following configured nodes. Their connections are shown above; inspect the JSON for the complete logic, expressions, and external actions.

Workflow node names, types, and operations
Node	Category	Type	Operation
When clicking ‘Test workflow’	Trigger	Manual Trigger	See node parameters
Globals	Transform	Edit Fields	See node parameters
Get all files in given path	Web / API	HTTP Request	See node parameters
Split the result	Transform	Split Out	See node parameters
Get file content from GitHub	Integration	Github	file / get

Setup

Download the JSON and import it into an isolated n8n instance. Leave the workflow inactive.
Connect your own credentials through n8n’s credential store. Replace REPLACE_WITH_* values with your resource identifiers.
Inspect API destinations, Code nodes, database queries, file paths, and outbound actions.
Run with synthetic data and harmless destinations. Enable triggers only after checking the actual outputs.

Requirements

An n8n instance with the listed node types and compatible versions. Service-connected workflows may require accounts, credentials, or paid APIs.

Workflow notes

Restore from GitHub

This workflow will restore all instance credentials from GitHub backups.

Setup

Open Globals node and update the values below 👇

repo.owner: your Github username
repo.name: the name of your repository
repo.path: the folder to use within the repository.

If your username was john-doe and your repository was called n8n-backups and you wanted the credentials to go into a credentials folder you would set:

repo.owner - john-doe
repo.name - n8n-backups
repo.path - credentials/
