Can one n8n instance have multiple github repos tied to different projects in it? if yes , how can that be achieved. I can only see the multi branch concept on docs
The docs you found are the key boundary: n8n source control is instance → Git repo → branches/environments. It is not a per-project picker where each project in one instance gets its own GitHub repo.
If this is about client/project isolation, separate instances are the safer boundary. If it is only about dev/prod promotion, keep one repo and use branches. Which one are you trying to solve: isolation or deployment history?
Thankyou . primarily isolation per project for diff teams
Then source control is the wrong boundary to lean on. Branches can separate change history, but they won’t isolate teams inside one running n8n instance.
For different teams, keep the isolation at the instance/environment level first, then connect each one to the repo/branch setup that matches that team. Do the teams also need separate credentials and execution history, or only separate workflow code?
they will require separate credentials, and execution history
Yes, then split the runtime boundary. If each team needs its own credentials and execution history, one shared n8n instance plus Git branches still leaves the operational history in the same place.
Treat each team as its own n8n instance/environment, then connect source control separately for each one. The repo choice comes after that boundary, not before it.

Managing CI/CD pipelines across multiple GitHub repositories on a single n8n instance is a common requirement for scaling infrastructure.
Achieving this typically involves advanced webhook routing or custom Git-based deployments, which are essential for maintaining clean project separation.
