Should one git repo correspond to one workspace?

[igorkk]

Hi all,

I'm doing a project which involves medallion architecture concept. So I have 3 workspaces Gold, Silver and Bronze. 
I see in DevOps that I can link one unique branch (development or main e.g.) to that repo. So I can't have multiple same branches based on the workspace within a repository.

Should I create 3 repos so I could have development and main branches for each layer (gold, silver and bronze)
Are there any other approaches for medallion architecture which will involve having one repo with the possibility to have development and main branches based on the workspaces (gold, silver, bronze)?

I would strongly recommend using a single repository. On the Git Integration tab of Workspace Settings there exists a Git Folder property. Use that property to differentiate between the Bronze, Silver, and Gold workspaces. We have our entire Power BI tenant, all of our Power BI workspaces, integrated into a single Git repository using that approach.

To promote to Test/Prod, I would then leverage Deployment Pipelines though there are some Fabric items that are not yet integrated with Git.

Hi @igorkk 
For managing branches in Azure DevOps for different workspaces, there are a few approaches you could consider:

Multiple Repositories:
You could create separate repositories for each workspace (Gold, Silver, Bronze). Each repository could have its own development and main branches. This approach provides clear separation and isolation between the workspaces.

Single Repository with Branching Strategy: You could use a single repository with a well-defined branching strategy. For example, you could have a main branch and then create separate branches for each workspace. Each workspace branch could then have its own development and main branches. This approach requires careful management of branches and merges but keeps everything within a single repository.

Workspaces in Azure DevOps: Azure DevOps allows you to create and manage multiple workspaces. You can isolate and switch among the changes you’re making in different branches. This could be another way to manage your workspaces in Microsoft Fabric.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
