GIT integration best pracitces on existing workspace

[zenisekd]

Hi, 
Recently, my company obtained Fabric capacity, and we want to move the existing workspace, which has about 15 items (mostly reports, many of them thin reports). We want to use GitHub, as we have already been using it for other projects. 

My question is, what is the best approach here? I have seen quite a few videos by now, but they mostly show the basics, where they upload a .pbip file (saved in a git repository folder) via git to a workspace. 
I have tried several approaches, and all of them failed with errors that did not provide much or any explanation. 

I was hoping that I could simply connect the git repo to the workspace and sync all items from there to the repo. Failed.
I tried to save some of the main reports as .pbip on my local machine and then to sync it via git to service, followed by syncing thin reports from service to my local machine. Also with problems... 

For this reason, I would like to ask you, what is your experience and best practice if you have a running workspace and want to integrate git. 

Cheers!

We use Azure DevOps as the provider for our Git integration and have not had any issues thus far, other than unsupported items (i.e. Dataflows Gen2).  I am planning on migrating our repos to our GitHub Enterprise space, so I am curious on what others post here.

On-prem or cloud?

I shoud have clarified, this would be in the cloud.

then you should be good to go.

Let me address the big elephant in the room straight away - which GitHub are you planning to use?  Public, Azure, on-prem ?

I was granted access to GitHub public, as far as I can tell.

@lbendlin This gives the same overview information as other articles. I am however struggling with specific steps on how to best migrate my current workspace and its items to GitHub so I avoid running into errors that have no explanation.

This is all bleeding edge stuff.  Try it out and let us know what you find.
