    I hope you are doing well☺️❤️

     

    So yes you can use Git for version control without Microsoft Fabric by treat your files as local development using the new Power BI Project (.pbip) file format.

     

    This method breaks your reports into text based files that Git can track and bypass the need for Fabric workspace level git integration

     

    Here are the steps to set up your env:

    Some Notes you should take care of it:

    • Premuim Per User (PPU) is likely required (For Teams env)
    • If you work alone or have a small team starting with the Publish from Desktop method can be a good way to learn the .pbip workflow
    • Git integration helps version control the definition of your reports and data models (the code) not the actual data inside them (So Refreshing your dataset data is a separate process)

    Other Resources Could help:

    if this post helps, then I would appreciate a thumbs up and mark it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.
