Configure Global Variables**\nGo to the **Globals** node and update the following:\n- **`repo.url`** → `https://your-gitea-instance.com` *(Replace with your actual Gitea URL)*\n- **`repo.name`** → `workflows` *(Repository name where backups will be stored)*\n- **`repo.owner`** → `octoleo` *(Gitea account that owns the repository)*\n\nšŸ“Œ **These settings define where workflows will be backed up.**\n\n---\n\n#### **šŸ”‘ 2. Set Up Gitea Authentication**\n1ļøāƒ£ **In Gitea:**\n- Generate a **Personal Access Token** under **Settings → Applications → Generate Token**\n- Ensure the token has **repo read/write permissions**\n\n2ļøāƒ£ **In the Credentials Manager:**\n- Create a new **Gitea Token** credential\n- Set the **Name** as `Authorization`\n- Set the **Value** as:\n```\nBearer YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN\n```\nšŸ“Œ **Ensure there is a space after `Bearer` before the token!**\n\n---\n\n#### **šŸ”— 3. Connect Gitea Credentials to Git Nodes**\n- Open each of these **three Git nodes**:\n- **GetGitea** → Retrieves existing repository data\n- **PutGitea** → Updates workflows\n- **PostGitea** → Adds new workflows\n\n- Assign the **Gitea Token** credential to each node.\n\nšŸ“Œ **These nodes handle pushing your workflows to Gitea.**\n\n---\n\n#### **🌐 4. Set Up API Credentials for Workflow Retrieval**\n- Locate the API request node that **fetches workflows**.\n- Add your **API authentication credentials** (Token or Basic Auth).\n\nšŸ“Œ **This ensures the workflow can fetch all available workflows from your system.**\n\n---\n\n#### **šŸ› ļø 5. Test & Activate the Workflow**\nāœ… **Run the workflow manually** → Check that workflows are being backed up correctly.\nāœ… **Review the Gitea repository** → Ensure the files are updated.\nāœ… **Enable the scheduled trigger** → Automates backups at defined intervals.\n\nšŸ“Œ **The workflow automatically checks for changes before committing updates!**\n\n---\n\n### **šŸš€ Done!
