GitHub Forked Repo Status Monitor
detail.loadingPreview
Automate the monitoring of your GitHub forked repositories. Receive timely alerts via Telegram about their update status relative to their upstream parent repository.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the tracking of your GitHub forked repositories, ensuring you're always aware of their divergence from the original upstream project. By leveraging the GitHub API, it fetches repository details and compares the default branches of the fork and its parent. It then intelligently processes this comparison to determine if the fork is behind, ahead, or up-to-date with the upstream repository. This crucial information is then relayed to you via a Telegram notification, allowing for proactive management and timely updates of your forked projects. The workflow is triggered manually or can be integrated into a broader automation pipeline.
Key Features
- Automated Fork Monitoring: Continuously track the status of your GitHub forked repositories.
- Upstream Comparison: Compares your fork's default branch against the upstream repository's default branch.
- Real-time Status Updates: Identifies if your fork is behind, ahead, or in sync with the upstream.
- Telegram Notifications: Receive instant alerts on your Telegram about repository status changes.
- Flexible Triggering: Can be manually executed or integrated into other automation workflows.
How To Use
- Trigger Setup: The workflow can be manually triggered by clicking 'Execute workflow' or can be configured to run on a schedule or via a webhook.
- Initial Trigger Input: For manual execution, you'll need to provide initial data. If triggered by Telegram, the workflow will expect a message that can be parsed to identify the repository you want to check (this specific snippet assumes a manual start, but a Telegram trigger is present and can be configured).
- GitHub Credentials: Ensure your GitHub API credentials are set up and connected to the 'githubApi' credential node.
- Telegram Credentials: Configure your Telegram bot token in the 'telegramApi' credential node for notifications.
- Workflow Execution: Once configured, execute the workflow. It will process the input, query GitHub for repository details, compare branches, and send a status update to your specified Telegram chat ID.
