    That looks promising chethan4046. Power BI supports Github and Azure DevOps better (kind of sad for Bitbucket) so yeah there is a good chance that it could be done cleanly. Give it a go! I might also give it a try over the weekend and thanks for sharing them!

Hii chethan4046 

 

Power BI Git integration currently supports version control only, but it does not automatically apply merged changes to the workspace. The “Apply updates” step in the UI is required by design. To automate deployment, you must use an external CI/CD process such as GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps pipelines combined with Power BI REST APIs. When a branch merge occurs, the pipeline can deploy the updated artifacts to the target workspace and then trigger a dataset refresh using the Refresh Dataset API. Branch-to-workspace mapping (Dev, QA, Prod) can be handled within the pipeline to support multiple environments.
