# Creating New Projects Synchronized with New GitHub Repositories

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

When creating an API Designer project, you can also create a GitHub repository and synchronize the
repository with your project.

## Before You Begin

Before you create and synchronize a project, ensure you have:

- The Design Center Developer permission within Anypoint Platform

- [Installed and authorized](https://docs.mulesoft.com/design-center/design-ghs-install-authorize) the GitHub Synchronization application

- Signed into GitHub

## Synchronize A New Project

1.  On the Design Center **Projects** page, click **Create new**.

2.  Select **New API Spec**.

3.  In the **New API Spec** dialog, specify an API title.

4.  Select **I’m comfortable with designing it on my own**.

5.  Click the **Sync this project with an external GitHub repository** checkbox.

6.  In the expanded dialog, select an organization from the **GitHub Organization** list.

    > [!NOTE] The **GitHub Organization** list remains empty if the GitHub Synchronization
    > application is not installed.

7.  If necessary, specify a new name for the repository.

8.  Click **Create API Spec**.

    You are navigated to the new project’s text editor.

In addition to synchronizing GitHub repositories when creating API specifications, you can
synchronize a new GitHub repository when creating fragments and importing APIs.
