    Hi db042190, 

     

    When checked into Git, Fabric uses the PBIP Power BI format, which stores everything as text so that it can be tracked in Git version control. 

     

    If you have a pbix file open in desktop, and you save it as a Power BI Project (PBIP) file, you will see the same file structure that you see in Git.

Hi db042190, 

 

The easiest way to restore a report from git is to clone the repo in a workspace. 

 

Create a new workspace, connect it to the git branch with the report you want to restore, and then pull from git. That will put the report into the workspace where you can then download it as a regular pbix file, or move it to wherever you wish it to be.
