Automate Git: Streamline Your Add, Commit, and Push Workflow
detail.loadingPreview
This n8n workflow provides a powerful way to automate fundamental Git operations. It allows you to effortlessly stage files, commit changes with custom messages, and push them to your remote repository, all with a single execution. Streamline your development process and ensure consistent version control.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to simplify and automate repetitive Git tasks, making your development lifecycle more efficient. Instead of manually executing git add, git commit, and git push commands, this workflow bundles them into an easy-to-use, one-click solution. It's perfect for maintaining documentation, initiating new projects with a README.md, or integrating basic version control steps into more complex CI/CD pipelines. By automating these core operations, you reduce manual errors, save valuable time, and ensure that your repositories are always up-to-date and consistently managed.
Key Features
- One-Click Git Operations: Execute a sequence of Git
add,commit, andpushwith a single trigger. - Customizable Commit Messages: Define specific commit messages (e.g.,
✨ First commit from n8n) for clear version history. - Automated File Staging: Automatically
addspecified files (likeREADME.md) to your Git staging area. - Seamless Remote Push: Effortlessly push your committed changes to the configured remote repository.
- Reusable Repository Context: The workflow intelligently passes the repository path between Git nodes, simplifying configuration.
How To Use
- Manual Trigger ('On clicking 'execute'): This node starts the workflow. Simply click "Execute Workflow" in the n8n editor to run it.
- Git ('Git' - Add Operation):
- Set the
operationtoadd. - In the
pathsToAddfield, specify the file(s) you want to stage (e.g.,README.md). - Crucially, set the
repositoryPathto the local path of your Git repository (e.g.,/home/user/my-repo).
- Set the
- Git ('Git1' - Commit Operation):
- The
operationis set tocommit. - Enter your desired
messagefor the commit (e.g.,✨ First commit from n8n). - The
repositoryPathdynamically references the path from the previous 'Git' node, ensuring continuity.
- The
- Git ('Git2' - Context Passing/Optional Operation):
- This node primarily passes the
repositoryPathcontext from the first 'Git' node. - While no specific
operationis set in this example, you could configure it forstatus(to check repository state) orpull(to fetch remote changes) if needed before pushing. For this basic flow, it can remain as is.
- This node primarily passes the
- Git ('Git3' - Push Operation):
- The
operationis set topush. - The
repositoryPathalso dynamically references the path from the first 'Git' node. - Ensure your local Git environment is configured with appropriate credentials (e.g., SSH keys or HTTPS token) for pushing to your remote repository.
