- 2.Connect to GitHub and retrieve repository data from specified sources
- 3.Divide returned results into manageable batches for processing
- 4.Apply conditional filters to data based on defined business criteria
- 5.Execute custom functions to transform and enrich the data
- 6.Merge processed results into a unified workflow output
Use cases

- Process large volumes of pull requests or issues periodically
- Run automated security and compliance checks on repositories
Requirements
- Active GitHub account with personal access token generated
- n8n platform with scheduling capabilities enabled
