mportant: Repository History Rewritten Due to DMCA Compliance

[Zie619]

Important: Repository History Rewritten Due to DMCA Compliance

What Happened

We received a DMCA takedown notice requiring the removal of 8 workflow files from this repository. To comply with this legal request and prevent the repository from being disabled, we had to remove these files from the entire git history.

Impact on Users

If you have a fork:

Your fork is now out of sync with the main repository. You'll need to:

# 1. Backup your fork (if you have unique changes)
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/n8n-workflows.git n8n-workflows-backup

# 2. Delete and re-fork the repository on GitHub
# Go to your fork on GitHub and delete it
# Then fork the repository again from https://github.com/Zie619/n8n-workflows

# 3. Or sync your existing fork (advanced)
cd your-fork-directory
git remote add upstream https://github.com/Zie619/n8n-workflows.git
git fetch upstream
git checkout main
git reset --hard upstream/main
git push origin main --force

If you have a local clone:

# Option 1: Fresh clone (easiest)
cd ..
rm -rf n8n-workflows
git clone https://github.com/Zie619/n8n-workflows.git

# Option 2: Reset existing clone
cd n8n-workflows
git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/main

Removed Files

The following workflow files have been permanently removed:

• workflows/1980_Splitout_Code_Automation_Webhook.json
• workflows/1323_Splitout_Code_Automation_Webhook.json
• workflows/1977_Wait_Splitout_Automation_Webhook.json
• workflows/1994_Code_Manual_Automation_Webhook.json
• workflows/1666_Code_Manual_Automation_Webhook.json
• workflows/1352_Splitout_Filter_Automate_Triggered.json
• workflows/1840_Splitout_Filter_Automate_Triggered.json
• workflows/1591_Splitout_Code_Automate_Webhook.json

Why This Was Necessary

• We received a DMCA takedown notice from GitHub
• Failure to comply within one week would have resulted in the entire repository being disabled
• The content had to be removed from all git history, not just the current version

I've received the same email from GitHub. What is the problem with these files?

I received the same email just now. Can I fork again?

Same here. Seems there was a raid on the n8n workflows repositories.

Same here, fork was annexed :( Really poor handling from GH on this.

Cannot set that fork to private, cannot remove the fork, cannot replace the fork; I needed to create a new fork with a different name :-/

Really annoying they decided for some reason that 7 workflows were copy righted ( It’s right there in the readme . A lot of the workflows are scraped) so we had to take them down

@Zie619 : Hello, just got some DMCA email. I have created a new fork. Unfortunately fork cannot be set to private. Should we afraid of another repo cancellation?

As far as I know from github team we are currently safe , hope it would stay that way

Hi, I received ther email. But the repo is blocked and I can't delete the actual fork to rebuild it. Some tips?

Sadly there seems to be no way to remove the original fork, I had to create a new one choosing to append some other string to the repo name; if GH had allowed individuals to respond to the DMCA takedown by removing the fork then this would have been ok, however I suspect it's so they can hold the fork URI to show the DMCA takedown notice probably as a legal requirement 🤷 only method right now create a new fork using another namespace.

May be its time to create a new Github for dev a decentralized one.
Any one up for this?

sou leigo, sei que estou fazendo uma pergunta idiota mas como consigo ver o fluxo dos templates rodando no n8n? Eu consigo inserir o JSON mas o template ilustrado no fork? Qual seria a forma rápida e inteligente de fazer isso fácil? Teria?
