Automated Workflow Restoration from GitHub

This n8n workflow automates the process of restoring and updating workflows directly from a GitHub repository in response to specific pull request events. It is designed to streamline workflow version control and deployment by automatically fetching, decoding, and updating workflows based on GitHub pull requests. The process begins with a GitHub trigger that listens for pull request events, particularly when a pull request is closed and merged. The workflow then verifies the merge action, fetches the commit details, and retrieves any changed workflow files from GitHub. These files are decoded from base64 content to JSON. The workflow then filters out new and modified workflows, fetching their latest content from GitHub. Based on their status, it either updates existing workflows in n8n or creates new ones, ensuring the local n8n instance stays synchronized with GitHub. This automation is especially useful in continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, allowing teams to maintain workflow consistency and deployment efficiency without manual intervention.
