**šŸ“Œ Setup Guide for Backup Workflows to Git Repository on Gitea**\n\n#### **šŸ”§ 1. Configure Global Variables**\nGo to the **Globals** node and update the following:\n- **`repo.url`** ā†’ `https://your-gitea-instance.com` *(Replace with your actual Gitea URL)*\n- **`repo.name`** ā†’ `workflows` *(Repository name where backups will be stored)*\n- **`repo.owner`** ā†’ `octoleo` *(Gitea account that owns the repository)*\n\nšŸ“Œ **These settings define where workflows will be backed up.**\n\n---\n\n#### **šŸ”‘ 2. Set Up Gitea Authentication**\n1ļøāƒ£ **In Gitea:**\n- Generate a **Personal Access Token** under **Settings ā†’ Applications ā†’ Generate Token**\n- Ensure the token has **repo read/write permissions**\n\n2ļøāƒ£ **In the Credentials Manager:**\n- Create a new **Gitea Token** credential\n- Set the **Name** as `Authorization`\n- Set the **Value** as:\n```\nBearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE\n```\nšŸ“Œ **Ensure there is a space after `Bearer` before the token!**\n\n---\n\n#### **šŸ”— 3. Connect Gitea Credentials to Git Nodes**\n- Open each of these **three Git nodes**:\n- **GetGitea** ā†’ Retrieves existing repository data\n- **PutGitea** ā†’ Updates workflows\n- **PostGitea** ā†’ Adds new workflows\n\n- Assign the **Gitea Token** credential to each node.\n\nšŸ“Œ **These nodes handle pushing your workflows to Gitea.**\n\n---\n\n#### **šŸŒ 4. Set Up API Credentials for Workflow Retrieval**\n- Locate the API request node that **fetches workflows**.\n- Add your **API authentication credentials** (Token or Basic Auth).\n\nšŸ“Œ **This ensures the workflow can fetch all available workflows from your system.**\n\n---\n\n#### **šŸ› ļø 5. Test & Activate the Workflow**\nāœ… **Run the workflow manually** ā†’ Check that workflows are being backed up correctly.\nāœ… **Review the Gitea repository** ā†’ Ensure the files are updated.\nāœ… **Enable the scheduled trigger** ā†’ Automates backups at defined intervals.\n\nšŸ“Œ **The workflow automatically checks for changes before committing updates!**\n\n---\n\n### **šŸš€ Done! Your Workflows Are Now Backed Up Securely!**\nšŸ’¬ Have issues? **Reach out on the forum for help!**", "height": 1620, "width": 560 }, "id": "5411d3bf-23f2-4fa3-a1c7-e1d4e370006e", "name": "Sticky Note4", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [ -112, 272 ], "typeVersion": 1 } ], "connections": { "n8n": { "main": [ [ { "node": "ForEach", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Exist": { "main": [ [ { "node": "SetDataUpdateNode", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ], [ { "node": "SetDataCreateNode", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Changed": { "main": [ [ { "node": "PutGitea", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ], [ { "node": "ForEach", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "ForEach": { "main": [ [], [ { "node": "GetGitea", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Globals": { "main": [ [ { "node": "n8n", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "GetGitea": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Exist", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "PutGitea": { "main": [ [ { "node": "ForEach", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "PostGitea": { "main": [ [ { "node": "ForEach", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Schedule Trigger": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Globals", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "SetDataCreateNode": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Base64EncodeCreate", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "SetDataUpdateNode": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Base64EncodeUpdate", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Base64EncodeCreate": { "main": [ [ { "node": "PostGitea", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Base64EncodeUpdate": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Changed", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] } }, "settings": { "executionOrder": "v1", "availableInMCP": false }, "staticData": null, "meta": { "templateCredsSetupCompleted": true }, "pinData": {}, "versionId": "4e5b2595-bd2b-458c-9ed2-6ea60e7a0d7f", "activeVersionId": null, "triggerCount": 0, "shared": [ { "updatedAt": "2026-02-07T17:26:56.090Z", "createdAt": "2026-02-07T17:26:56.090Z", "role": "workflow:owner", "workflowId": "ELSlHxqYRAgcoG7FM610k", "projectId": "cSAaWNJydnksD5EB" } ], "activeVersion": null, "tags": [] }
