Integrate PowerBI Desktop to Github repo

[santhi]

Hi,

I have a question "In my team, PowerBI development team is working on PowerBI desktop to generate the reports and they are uploading manually .pbix files from their local machine into Github repo when they are going to deployment." Is there any way to automate or integrate PowerBI desktop to Github so that once report was generated it will automatically uploads to Github? so that it will help to track changes and version control through Github. Present concern is we were unable to track the changes and sharing the .pbix manually through email among the group. If it centralized in Github it will be helpful for the team.

Git integration in Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code) enables Pro BI developers working with Power BI Desktop projects to streamline development processes, source control, and collaboration with Git repositories.

With Git integration, you can:

• Backup and version your work.
• Revert to previous states.
• Collaborate with others or work alone using Git branches.
• Use the capabilities of familiar source control tools, like Azure DevOps.

Keep in mind  that Power BI Desktop projects is currently in preview.
