Git Sync: UI import feature
You can now import a dashboard JSON straight into a Git Sync–provisioned folder. From the folder’s browse view, hit Import and Grafana will route you through a provisioned import flow: pick the file path, branch, commit message, and workflow, and the dashboard gets committed back to your repository as part of the import.
A couple of differences from regular imports worth knowing about:
- Uniqueness is path-based. Two dashboards can share a title as long as they live at different file paths in the repo. The file path is the constraint, not the title.
- UIDs are still globally unique per org. Two repos with dashboards sharing a UID will conflict.
- Path conflicts block import. If a file already exists at the target path, the import is stopped before it overwrites anything.
Currently rolling out in Grafana Cloud and available on-prem in v13.1.0.
