Hi , Anonymous 

Power BI doesn't support to use built-in GIT to back up PowerBI Reports.

You can vote for this related idea.

And if you just want to integrate Git with PowerBI, the most straightforward way is to use GitHub template app.

You can also consider third-party platforms, but they are usually not free of charge.

    Thank you for your suggestions, and we'll probably stay away for now, from the 3rd party solution.

    I have some new information.  And based on your response i did have a few questions

    1) I now have more details about our PowerBI/GIT requirements.
       We already have a git/Azure installation in place, and we would be looking to find a way to split out the report and store them out to our current git/Azure environment. Can you give me any advice?

    1) What are your experiences using PBI and GIT, what were the highs and lows, successes and otherwise regarding integration? Anything to be aware of?

    A lot of replies to GitHub questions are beyond me. They assume a level of knowledge I don't have. I've created some repos (basically just folders with some stuff in them), but if I want to set up my Power BI environment so that my code (reports/dashboards0 is stored in Git, is that simple to set up?
