Push and pull
If your n8n instance connects to a Git repository, you need to keep your work in sync with Git.
This document assumes some familiarity with Git concepts and terminology. Refer to Git and n8n for an introduction to how n8n works with Git.

Fetch other people's work
!!! note "Restricted to instance owners" Ordinary users can't fetch work from Git.
To pull work from Git, select Pull 
in the main menu.

n8n may display a warning about overriding local changes. Select Pull and override to override your local work with the content in Git.
Workflow owner may change on pull
When you pull from Git to an n8n instance, the workflow owner may change. If the same owner is available on both instances, the owner remains the same. If the original owner isn't on the new instance, n8n sets the instance owner as the workflow owner.
Send your work to Git
!!! note "Restricted to instance owners" Ordinary users can't send work to Git.
