-## Performance impacts of enabling Git Sync
-
-Git Sync is an experimental feature and is under continuous development. Reporting any issues you encounter can help us improve Git Sync.
-
-When Git Sync is enabled, the database load might increase, especially for instances with a lot of folders and nested folders. Evaluate the performance impact, if any, in a non-production environment.
+This guide shows you how to set up Git Sync to synchronize your Grafana dashboards and folders with a GitHub repository. You'll set up Git Sync to enable version-controlled dashboard management either [using the UI](#set-up-git-sync-using-grafana-ui) or [as code](#set-up-git-sync-as-code).

 ## Before you begin

+## Set up Git Sync as code
+
+Alternatively, you can also configure Git Sync using `grafanactl`. Since Git Sync configuration is managed as code using Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs), you can create a Repository CRD in a YAML file and use `grafanactl` to push it to Grafana. This approach enables automated, GitOps-style workflows for managing Git Sync configuration instead of using the Grafana UI.

+- [Dashboard CRD Format](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/<GRAFANA_VERSION>/as-code/observability-as-code/provision-resources/export-resources/)
+
+### Create the repository CRD
+
+Create a `repository.yaml` file defining your Git Sync configuration:
+
+```yaml

+1. Connect to your GitHub repository
+1. Pull dashboards from the specified path
+1. Begin syncing at the configured interval

+```
+
+#### Update the repository
+
+To update a repository:
+
+```sh
+grafanactl resources edit repository/<REPOSITORY_NAME>
+```
+
+#### Delete the repository
+
+To delete a repository:
+
+```sh

+```
+
+### Verify setup
+
+Check that Git Sync is working:

Oscar Kilhed	350c3578c7	Dynamic dashboards: Update variable set state when variable hide property changes (#115094 ) fix: update variable set state when variable hide property changes When changing a variable's positioning to show in controls menu using the edit side pane, the state of dashboardControls does not immediately update. This makes it seem to the user that nothing was changed. The issue was that when a variable's hide property changes, only the variable's state was updated, but not the parent SceneVariableSet state. Components that subscribe to the variable set state (like useDashboardControls) didn't detect the change because the variables array reference remained the same. This fix updates the parent SceneVariableSet state when a variable's hide property changes, ensuring components that subscribe to the variable set will re-render immediately.
