Git off my lawn: Mastering Power BI Deployments with Git Integration

on YouTube ↗48m

" summary

Shows a working setup that automates Power BI deployments using the REST API and Azure DevOps YAML pipelines to create workspaces, assign capacities, and push reports from Dev → Test → Prod (deployment pipelines now support 2–10 stages). Demonstrates serializing models with Tabular Editor to save model to folder (one JSON per object) so Git diffs and pull requests detect new measures, uses Best Practice Analyzer and PBI Inspector as automated checks, and proves pipelines actually create workspaces and update reports.
