Version control n8n workflows in GitLab with customer tag organization
## How it works
- Triggers manually or on schedule (03:00 daily by default)
- Fetches workflows tagged `backup-workflows` via n8n API
- Normalizes workflow names and applies `[client: NAME]` tag convention
- Prepares JSON in the same structure as an n8n UI export
- Checks GitLab repository:
- Create new file if missing
- Update file if content differs
- Skip if unchanged
- Logs results with recap (created, updated, unchanged, total)
## Set up steps
- Configure your GitLab credentials in n8n
- Create a repository and branch for workflow backups
- Set global variables (owner, project, branch, backup path)
- Tag workflows to include with `backup-workflows`
- Run manually once to test, then enable the schedule
