Before you begin
Git Sync requires a specific setup in both Grafana and your Git repository to function correctly.
Before you use Git Sync to manage your dashboards, ensure you have the necessary access and permissions configured:
- A Grafana account
- Appropriate permissions to manage dashboards in Grafana
- A Git repository
- Appropriate repository permissions to push and pull changes
- Git Sync configured and connected to your repository
- Basic familiarity with Git concepts including commits, branches, and pull requests
Git Sync works with existing Grafana dashboards. If you don’t have dashboards to sync, you can create them in Grafana or import existing dashboard JSON files into your repository.
In the next milestone, you’ll learn about known limitations of Git Sync.
