# Save a dashboard to Git

Saving a new dashboard to a Git Sync provisioned folder triggers the Git workflow options. You must choose a provisioned folder, specify the file path in the repository, and select whether to commit directly to the main branch or create a pull request for review.

To save a dashboard to Git, complete the following steps:

1. Click **Save dashboard** in the dashboard toolbar.
2. In the **Title** field, enter a descriptive name for the dashboard.
   
   For example, enter `HTTP Request Monitoring`.
3. In the **Description** field, enter a brief explanation of the dashboard’s purpose.
   
   For example, enter `Monitors HTTP request rates and error rates for web services`.
4. In the **Folder** drop-down, select a Git Sync provisioned folder. Provisioned folders display a **Provisioned** label.
   
   For example, select `grafana-dashboards`.
5. In the **Path** field, enter the file path where the dashboard JSON will be saved in the repository.
   
   For example, enter `dashboards/http-monitoring.json`.
6. For **Workflow**, select **Push to main** to commit directly to the main branch. This creates a direct commit without a pull request. In later milestones, you’ll learn about the pull request workflow.
7. In the **Comment** field, enter a commit message describing the new dashboard.
   
   For example, enter `Add HTTP request monitoring dashboard`.
8. Click **Save**.

The dashboard is saved to the Git Sync provisioned folder and committed to the GitHub repository. Git Sync creates a commit with your message and pushes it to the main branch. The dashboard is now version controlled and synced with GitHub.

In the next milestone, you’ll learn how to edit an existing synced dashboard.
