# Create a service sync configuration

You can create a service sync configuration using the console or AWS CLI.

------
#### [ AWS Management Console ]

1. On the **Choose a service template** page, select a template and choose **Configure**.

1. On the **Configure service** page, in the **Service details** section, enter a new **Service name**.

1. (Optional) Enter a description for the service.

1. In the **Application source code repository** section, choose **Choose a linked Git repository** to select a repository you've already linked with AWS Proton. If you don't already have a linked repository, choose **Link another Git repository** and follow the instructions in [Create a link to your repository](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//proton/latest/userguide/ag-create-repo.html).

1. For **Repository**, choose the name of your source code repository from the list.

1. For **Branch**, choose the name of the repository branch for your source code from the list.

1. (Optional) In the **Tags** section, choose **Add new tag** and enter a key and value to create a customer managed tag.

1. Choose **Next**.

1. On the **Configure service instances** page, in the **Service definition source** section, select **Sync your service from Git**.

1. In the **Service definition files** section, if you want AWS Proton to create your `proton-ops` file, select **I want AWS Proton to create the files**. With this option, AWS Proton creates the `spec` and `proton-ops` file in the locations you specify. Select **I am providing my own files** to create your own OPS file.

1. In the **Service definition repository** section, choose **Choose a linked Git repository** to select a repository you've already linked with AWS Proton.

1. For **Repository name**, choose the name of your source code repository from the list.

1. For **`proton-ops` file branch**, choose the name of your branch from the list where AWS Proton will put your OPS and spec file.

1. In the **Service instances** section, each field is automatically filled based on the values in the `proton-ops` file.

1. Choose **Next** and review your inputs.

1. Choose **Create**.
