How to develop Notebooks from VS Code using Workspace Git integration.

[evrise]

Hi,

do not understand one thing around DevOps with MSFT Fabric.

I created multiple workspaces. each for an environment.

Connected dev one to Azure DevOps Repo. and main branch.

Prepared Deployment pipeline.

But..

Right now there is only one branch in Development WS. If I want to work in a feature branch. I have to create another workspace, or work locally from VS Code. I prefer VS Code...

And thats an issue. If working with VS Code Synapse extension. I can work with notebooks locally, but its totally different structure as connected Repo has. I work in some local folder where all my workspaces are sync.

How did you design this? Should I then copy paste all my changes to Repo py files ? I hope no. so whats the workflow here when using Git source control? 

Thanks.

Nobody ? why all files are so different ? 
py file exported from workspace notebook has different structure as py file commited to git directly from workspace source control. 
Files used by VS Code extension are nnotebooks. 

So there is no chance to sync your work at git. 

It seems, the only option is to create separated workspace for each developer and project and connnect and disconnect and again connect from Source control if you want to work in new branch (you can create a new branch via UI only from current branch when git is connected).
Imagine you have your work done, you merge your feature branch to main and then workspace is connected to deleted branch. so you have to go to onfiguration and reconnect to main. 

Who designed this pls? how to get out from that ? Is Databricks only way ?

Sorry for stupid question. but how support can help here? 
The issue is files imported from Fabric are notebooks with Synpase extension directory structure. 
Notebooks versioned to Git are python files with different dir. structure. 
Its not a bug. Its design failure. 
Thanks

Hi @evrise !

I am also currently struggling with those type of questions.
