Environments
Environments enable enterprise users of n8n to effectively manage multiple deployments of n8n by synchronizing them using a shared git repostiory.
Local development
When using the "usual" pnpm run dev scripts to start a local n8n instance, your local git settings and credentials will be picked up by the git repository that is cloned within n8n.
This is why you should start n8n in a docker container when doing any kind of manual testing of this feature.
Building a local docker image from your local checkout:
pnpm build:docker
Starting a local container using that image:
pnpm --filter n8n-containers stack:enterprise
The development experience of running n8n from source in a docker container still leaves a lot to be desired (lots of waiting for building and running the container). We should improve on this in the future.
