Template description
This workflow compares 2 datasets from a single database.
Two SQL nodes create a slightly different summary report based on the payments table.
Both reports have the same structure, but different time periods. In addition to that, output from the "Orders from 2004 and 2005" node has an extra manipulation on the ordercount variable.
This makes Compare Datasets node to produce four outputs: data in A Only Branch, in B Only Branch, Same Branch records and Different Branch records.
Please refere to the MySQL Tutorial website and download the example database: https://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-sample-database.aspx

Joining different datasets
Task:
Merge two datasets into one based on matching rules
Why:
A powerful capability of n8n is to easily branch out the workflow in order to process different datasets. Even more powerful is the ability to join them back together with SQL-like joining logic.
Main use cases:
Appending data sets
Keep only new items
Keep only existing items

Back Up Your n8n Workflows To Github
This workflow will backup your workflows to Github. It uses the public api to export all of the workflow data using the n8n node.
It then loops over the data checks in Github to see if a file exists that uses the workflow name. Once checked it will then update the file on Github if it exists, Create a new file if it doesn't exist and if it's the same it will ignore the file.
Config Options
repo.owner - Github owner
repo.name - Github repository name
repo.path - Path within the Github repository
>This workflow has been updated to use the n8n node and the code node so requires at least version 0.198.0 of n8n
