# How to add a requested provider
Follow the steps below to document a newly requested provider in the `documentation/provider/index.md` file.
## 1. Start from an up-to-date `main` branch
Make sure your local `main` branch is up to date, then create a new branch for your changes:
```shell
git switch main
git pull
git checkout -B docs/provider-request
```
## 2. Define variables
Set the following environment variables to use in the steps below:
```shell
export PROVIDER_NAME="Sav.com"
export GITHUB_ISSUE_NUMBER=3633
export GITHUB_FORK_REPO="yourusername/dnscontrol"
```
Replace `yourusername` with your actual GitHub username or organization name.
## 3. Edit the provider index file
Open the file in your preferred editor:
```shell
nano documentation/provider/index.md
```
Or, using PhpStorm:
```shell
phpstorm documentation/provider/index.md
```
Scroll to the **Requested providers** section and append the following line:
```markdown
* [Sav.com](https://github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol/issues/3633) (#3633)
```
To generate this automatically, run:
```shell
echo "* [${PROVIDER_NAME}](https://github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol/issues/${GITHUB_ISSUE_NUMBER}) (#${GITHUB_ISSUE_NUMBER})"
```
Make sure to insert the new line in alphabetical order if applicable.
## 4. Commit your changes
Add and commit the modified file:
```shell
git add documentation/provider/index.md
git commit -m "DOCS: Added requested provider ${PROVIDER_NAME} (#${GITHUB_ISSUE_NUMBER})"
```
## 5. Push and open a pull request
Push your changes to your fork and open a new pull request:
```shell
git push --no-verify
open "https://github.com/${GITHUB_FORK_REPO}/pull/new/docs/provider-request"
echo "Added ${PROVIDER_NAME} #${GITHUB_ISSUE_NUMBER} to the list of requested providers."
```
