Workflow to save the workflows to git?

Questions
#1

Hi,

I have a bunch of time lost modifications because bad manipulations or something, or having workflows with multiple persons changing and making a mess.

Is there a way to see the history of changes on n8n? assuming no, I would like to:

  • save all workflows as separate files
  • put them into git
  • everytime the workflow is saved, it’s a new commit

so basically creating a n8n workflow saving to git that is triggered by a n8n event. so meta.

does it exist already? I see there is a N8N trigger, but the only event that is available is when the instance starts?

Hi @xavier

Hope you’re doing great.

Can you try this workflow? This might help.

You can change the cron trigger to your time of choice.

Hi !

I tried this workflow, but I get an error right in the first Http request node :

n8n is on a DigitalOcean server.

Is there a problem with the URL ?

Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

Hey @PrintEurope,

It looks like you don’t have anything listening on localhost 8443 so I suspect you access n8n with port 8443 but locally it will still be on 5678.

Personally I would swap to the n8n node instead which is what this workflow template uses…
