"## Push Multiple Files to GitHub Repo \nA streamlined workflow for uploading multiple files to a GitHub repository via the GitHub REST API. This solution addresses a significant limitation of the native GitHub n8n node, which supports only single-file uploads.\n\nThis approach enables batch file operations, making it particularly valuable for automation scenarios that require simultaneous uploads of multiple files to your GitHub repositories.\n\n### Setup Instructions:\n1. Create a new GitHub Personal Access Token [here](https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens). In the \"Repository access\" section, select your repository and grant \"Read and write\" permissions under the \"Contents\" category. \n2. Configure your GitHub information in the \"Set GitHub Info\" node. \n3. Update the \"Create New Tree\" node with your filenames and content. You can add as many tree entries (files) as needed.", "height": 380, "width": 580 }, "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "typeVersion": 1, "position": [ -960, -80 ], "id": "afd1d74c-7d06-4e49-a906-a9d637ce8600", "name": "Sticky Note1" }, { "parameters": { "assignments": { "assignments": [ { "id": "0ddbab7f-7073-4568-9ca5-2b3799d4a87e", "name": "content", "value": "This is the content of your file #1.", "type": "string" } ] }, "options": {} }, "type": "n8n-nodes-base.set", "typeVersion": 3.4, "position": [ 60, -60 ], "id": "d282fec1-0fd9-4956-95b4-0437ed67ff03", "name": "File 1" }, { "parameters": { "assignments": { "assignments": [ { "id": "0ddbab7f-7073-4568-9ca5-2b3799d4a87e", "name": "content", "value": "This is the content of your file #2.", "type": "string" } ] }, "options": {} }, "type": "n8n-nodes-base.set", "typeVersion": 3.4, "position": [ 240, -60 ], "id": "426b3d80-c5af-4029-a4e7-b56b0af7601a", "name": "File 2" } ], "pinData": {}, "connections": { "Get latest commit SHA": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Get base tree SHA", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Get base tree SHA": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Create new tree", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Create new tree": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Create commit", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Create commit": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Update branch", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "When clicking ‘Test workflow’": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Set Github Info", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Set Github Info": { "main": [ [ { "node": "File 1", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "File 1": { "main": [ [ { "node": "File 2", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "File 2": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Get latest commit SHA", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] } }, "active": false, "settings": { "executionOrder": "v1" }, "versionId": "2920d785-d42a-4901-b5d9-6929ac62c132", "meta": { "instanceId": "ddfdf733df99a65c801a91865dba5b7c087c95cc22a459ff3647e6deddf2aee6" }, "id": "RtTHLr1SAwIpntKr", "tags": [] }
