Version control for published dataset
SampaSim - You cannot download just the PBIT, you would have to download the PBIX and then save to a PBIT. And then put that in GitHub or SharePoint document library, etc.
Hi SampaSim
You might take Greg_Deckler 's suggestion into consideration for generate the pbix from power bi. but for convert them into pbit file bulkly, you might raise it as an idea in the portal:

Greg_Deckler Do you know if there exists an automated solution to do it? I need to control all the datasets published by the user of my company. Then it is possible that I have to download one hundred datasets of 1 GB and more and, then, save all them in a pbit format. It will require a lot of time.

SampaSim - I believe that the Power BI REST API allows you to download the PBIX file. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/reports/exportreport
From there, saving it to a PBIT, I'm not aware of any native Power BI Desktop automation like the equivalent of VBA code for Excel for instance.
