Workflow name
GitHub workflow version control dashboard with commit history and rollbacks

This n8n template provides enterprise-level version control for your workflows using GitHub integration. Stop losing hours to broken workflows and manual exports – get proper commit history, visual diffs, and one-click rollbacks.

This is the first template for n8n that provides real version control with commit-level granularity.

Perfect for power users and tech teams managing multiple complex workflows.

How it works

  • Automated sync: Workflows are automatically synced to GitHub on your preferred schedule
  • Smart categorization: Dashboard shows which workflows are synced, n8n-only, or GitHub-only
  • Complete commit history: View every change with timestamps, authors, and commit messages
  • Flexible import: Import workflows from GitHub as new workflows or replace existing ones
  • Individual workflow control: Sync specific workflows with custom commit messages

How to use

  • Import the workflow template into your n8n instance
  • Generate your n8n API key from your instance settings
  • Configure your GitHub credentials and repository settings
  • Set up the webhook endpoint for the dashboard interface
  • Access the dashboard via the generated webhook URL
  • Configure automatic sync schedule or use manual sync options

Requirements

  • n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted) with API access
  • GitHub account and repository
  • Basic understanding of Git workflows

Customizing this workflow

  • DIY or available as part of consulting services
  • Professional customization for specific deployment workflows and integrations
  • Custom sync schedules and commit message formats can be configured during setup

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/8105/8105.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
