Restore your credentials from GitHub

This workflow is designed for:

• Developers looking to restore credentials for their applications from GitHub backups.
• DevOps Engineers who need to automate the process of credential management.
• Project Managers overseeing projects that utilize n8n and need to ensure credentials are correctly restored from backups.
• Technical Support Teams assisting users with credential recovery processes in a seamless manner.

This workflow addresses the challenge of restoring credentials from GitHub backups efficiently. It automates the retrieval of credential files from a specified repository path, processes the files, and restores them into the n8n environment, minimizing manual effort and reducing the risk of errors during the restoration process.

1. Manual Trigger: The workflow begins when the user clicks 'Test workflow'.
2. Setup Globals: Users must configure global variables to specify their GitHub username, repository name, and the path where the credential files are stored.
3. Get All Files: The workflow sends a request to GitHub's API to fetch all files located in the specified repository path.
4. Split Result: The files retrieved are split into individual paths for further processing.
5. Get File Content: For each file path, the workflow retrieves the actual content from GitHub.
6. Convert to JSON: The content of the files is converted from its original format to JSON format for easier handling.
7. Check for Skipped Credentials: The workflow checks if any credentials should be skipped during the restoration process, such as empty files or specific credential types.
8. Restore Credentials: Finally, the valid credentials are restored into the n8n environment.
