### Setup
Open `Globals` node and update the values below 👇

- **repo.owner:** your Github username
- **repo.name:** the name of your repository
- **repo.path:** the folder to use within the repository.


If your username was `john-doe` and your repository was called `n8n-backups` and you wanted the credentials to go into a `credentials` folder you would set:

- repo.owner - john-doe
- repo.name - n8n-backups
- repo.path - credentials/
