Power BI Desktop "Developer Mode" and Fabric Git Integration (with Rui Romano)

[@davidm00ris]

Awesome comprehensive overview of how and what to integrate for git. Thank you for this!

[@pradeepyadagani7856]

Great content. Thank you deeper insights into Developer mode. Small Request... It would have been better if the background music was turned off.

[@HavensConsulting]

Noted!

[@BritonWells]

This was a great overview - good focus on how this is a big benefit even for a solo dev!

[@lukeminikoski]

Awesome! Finally i could go forth in this path! Thank you guys!

[@HavensConsulting]

Our pleasure!

[@opod84]

I appreciate the great overview!

[@MacPaulos]

Love the concept. Can you provide an overview of how 2+ devs get started with an existing workspace where a single dataset is connected to multiple reports? The main thing that I'm looking for is how to proceed with feature branching , bug fixing and having this all sync'd to the service from the small team of devs. The concepts were kinda covered but would like to see it in action. Thank you

Thanks for a great session. Awaiting the GA.

This is looking exciting already. I am getting across this video asap. Should have been in the live but I reside in Australia.

[@brianleddo7342]

Great vid! Thanks Rui, Reid. Can't wait until this gets to GA.

[@HavensConsulting]

You and me both!

I've been dealing with a situation regarding PBIP file . I've generated my PBIP file based on my pbix report in my local machine then commit and push my repo to Azure devOps. Everything got pushed, proper dataset and report folder got generated, GITignore file too except the PBIP file generated locally from the pbix. IT looks like PBIP file is not systematically pushed. any thought or similar experience? if so is there any reason?

[@DarkOri3nt]

We need this again with in depth deployment methods either through yaml or devops release pipeline. Also with new TMDL format.

[@HavensConsulting]

I do have a few other livestreams which does dive into the TMDL format as well :)

[@lucasshipsides1510]

loved this! thank you both

[@michalpalko4843]

Are there any indications when the ugly nested report.json could be split to the folder as Rui said? It is absolut deal breaker. Even when I format it programatically, the PowerBI cannot compile it when opening.

[@HavensConsulting]

Nothing has been officially announced on any report layer definition language, as the team is still working hard on wrapping up TMDL. But there are some external tools that are amazing at breaking down the report layer JSON file :) I list a few of them on my toolbox page :) www.havensconsulting.net/toolbox-for-power-bi-fabric

[@rapatel1642]

Awesome video. How do you apply this source control when u don't want the data being accessed in pbix pipelines on github. That is u want source control but not have your data available in github.

[@HavensConsulting]

So the project files don't store any model data, just the metadata for the model/report, as PBIP files. If that's what you're concerned about?

[@yuvakarthiking]

I am trying to commit the dataflows to git. But git status is “unsupported” . So dataflows are not supported by git ?

[@emal24]

Looks pretty when you describe it, but when I checked it two weeks ago, the sync was failing constantly. Please show real life examples, not slides in Power Point. Right now imho it is not reliable.

[@nooralfar10]

this is awsome .. what if the changing was on the model view; deleting or adding datasource? and for the part of having multiple reports and 1 datasource, how did you get there on desktop?

[@HavensConsulting]

Any model changes will be inherited by all connected reports in the PBIP file! Any report file you open from within the project will open any number of reports connected to your one data source

[@jackstrudley1039]

I don't seem to have the initialize repository option in VS Code despite the fact when I'm making changes to my pbip file I can see them in VS Code.

[@HavensConsulting]

This would be a great question to post to the Fabric community forums! community.fabric.microsoft.com/

[@brandonboschx]

Do you have git installed on your machine?

[@jackstrudley1039]

@@brandonboschx I've since managed to resolve the issue. Never had initialize repository appear but seem to be able to get the desired results.

[@remek5758]

Is git integration with workspace ever going to work also in normal PBI workspaces (Premium) or it will stuck with only Fabric?

[@JBartlett_DMU]

New report definition format should be: "Canvas Report Definition Language" a.k.a. "CRDL" or "Curdle" 😁

[@HavensConsulting]

Love it!

[@willianranzani1223]

Nice explanation Rui! Thank you for it. May you can make available to us this Power Point file? I want to put it on my knowledge base and study, the material is so good!

[@HavensConsulting]

Link is in the description now :)
