Power BI Projects (PBIP) and Git Quick Start

The June 2023 release of Power BI Desktop includes the new PBIP project format. The new project format breaks your Power BI projects down into separate folders and files that include all the details for your Power BI reports and underlying datasets. The main benefit of this new project format (PBIP) is that your projects can now be version controlled with Git.

This quick-start course will teach you the fundamentals of Git and how to effectively use Git with your Power BI projects. A perfect jump-start to develop professional Git habits such as…

• Reviewing your dataset and report changes before committing them.

• Authoring diary commit messages for team communication, clarification, and enhanced historical records of changes.

• Examining dataset and report version diffs (changes/deltas) to learn and discover the inner workings of Power BI and increase your overall Power BI skills/effectiveness.

Power BI Projects (PBIP) are brand new, and now is the best time to become an expert and lead your organization into the future. Soon all Power BI initiatives will be expected to use the new PBIP format along with Git version control, the days for PBIX files by themselves are numbered. There’s no better time to start than now!

Take this course to develop professional Git habits, a proven daily work “rhythm,” and take your Power BI projects to the next level!
