In today's fast-paced data environment, organizations struggle with maintaining version control and implementing DevOps practices for their analytics assets. Microsoft Fabric's latest update addresses this challenge head-on by introducing native GitHub integration for real-time dashboards. This integration enables development teams to apply software engineering best practices to dashboard development, ensuring consistency, reliability, and collaborative development.
Before diving into the technical implementation, let's understand why this integration matters:
Real-time dashboards in Microsoft Fabric operate on a streaming data architecture with three key components:
Prerequisites (Run in Azure Cloud Shell):
#github #azure
2. Configuration Steps: Create a new file named fabric-github-config.yaml in your Fabric workspace:
fabric-github
3. Authentication Setup:
Configure these values in GitHub Developer Settings > OAuth Apps:
GitHub Developer Settings
Here's a sample GitHub Actions workflow for your dashboard. Create this file at
.github/workflows/dashboard-deploy.yml:

The GitHub integration with Microsoft Fabric's real-time dashboards transforms how organizations manage and deploy their analytics assets. By implementing these technical best practices, teams can achieve reliable, version-controlled, and automated dashboard deployments.
