edwardrmiles Well, I can speak to how it acts in VS 2015. (but I would imagine it works just as well in other versions)
Create a folder under a solution, add your PBIX files.
Double click on your PBIX file, and the Power BI Desktop opens.Make Changes, and the PBIX file acts like other VS objects and is marked as altered and must be checked back in.

In PowerBI Desktop, save the file as a PowerBI template.
