ManualTrigger Automate

• Developers looking to automate their GitHub workflows.
• Data Engineers needing to backup and manage credentials efficiently.
• Project Managers who want to ensure version control for their project files.
• DevOps Engineers aiming to streamline deployment processes with automated backups.

This workflow addresses the challenge of maintaining up-to-date backups of credentials in GitHub, ensuring that any changes are tracked and managed effectively. It eliminates the risk of losing important configuration data and provides a systematic way to handle file versions, whether they are new, unchanged, or modified.

1. Schedule Trigger: The workflow is initiated every 2 hours to ensure regular backups.
2. Execute Command: It runs a command to export all credentials in a decrypted format, ensuring sensitive information is captured correctly.
3. JSON Formatting: The output from the command is processed to ensure it is in a valid JSON format.
4. Loop Over Items: Each credential is processed individually to handle them effectively.
5. Get File Data: For each credential, the workflow checks if a corresponding backup file exists in GitHub.
6. If File Too Large: If the file is too large, it handles the situation accordingly.
7. Merge Items: The workflow merges the data from the exported credentials with existing files.
8. Check Status: It determines if the file is the same, different, or new compared to the existing backup.
9. Create/Edit File: Depending on the status, it either creates a new file or edits the existing one in GitHub.
10. Return: Finally, it concludes the workflow, marking the operation as complete.
