In n8n (Community Node)

1. Go to Settings → Community Nodes
2. Click Install

Manual / Development

npm install
npm run build

Then configure n8n to load custom nodes from this directory.

GitHub Enterprise Support

Set the GitHub Server field in credentials to your enterprise API URL:

https://github.example.com/api/v3

Webhook Trigger Setup

When you activate a workflow containing the GitHub Trigger node, n8n automatically:

1. Registers a webhook in your repository via the GitHub API
2. Starts receiving events

When the workflow is deactivated, the webhook is automatically removed.

Tip: Optionally set a Webhook Secret in both n8n and GitHub webhook settings to validate payload integrity.
