Advocate IISemantic Model to Git Results in Untracked File on macOS
Hi henrituol ,
I think your issue should be caused that when you integrate Power BI with Git, PBI sends requests to Git where the file name has special characters, where the special characters are transcoded and cause errors.
I suggest you refer to the cross-reference table in the blog and then replace the special character fields in it when you get the file.
For reference: HTML URL Encoding Reference

Advocate IIIt's interesting that users other than the original poster can mark questions as solved. This is by no means the proper solution for the issue at hand.
I am aware that special characters are at the center of this issue. However, firstly, there are other semantic models with exactly the same characters that work fine. Secondly, I cannot change semantic model names to include substrings like %C3%B6—it just isn't readable. I know that both PBI Service and Git handle "ö" just fine.
I am fine with leaving this question without a solution. I think this is valuable in itself—at least I would have been glad to find mentions of this macOS-specific issue with decomposed form Unicode filenames.
