Best way to manage multiple developers on a single PBIX file?

We have a situation where at least 2 developers want to update a report (PBIX file). I am one of the deves and use PBI Desktop. The other person uses the PBI service. What we have found is that I publish a report to the workspace, then the other user makes edits, I need to update my local copy of the report before I work on it. However I noticed when I download the PBIX from PBI Service it has no queries, and no data in the PBIX file (when I looked at the file size) which are critical to making changes. 

A PBI Pipeline just makes several different stages for a PBIX report: Dev stage, Test stage and production. Since I'm not an admin I cannot find much more about the pipeline but it doesn't look like it managers multiple devs on a single PBIX file.

What are the best practices for managing this situation?

@croberts21 , We use to upload the file on onedrive with overwrite option (and keep the versions there) .

For merging code we used ALM toolkit.

 

We then download file from onedrive and publish
