A beginner-friendly setup walkthrough for getting a Power BI project into a GitHub repository so you can safely bring AI into your reporting workflow, with rollback and visible diffs as the safety net.
What you'll learn
Install Git and Visual Studio Code and configure Git with your name and email
Create a GitHub repository and clone it locally with VS Code
Save an existing Power BI report as a Power BI project (PBIP) inside the repo
Use a .gitignore to keep the local data cache out of the repository
Run a full lifecycle pass: branch, add a DAX measure, view the diff, commit, sync, and merge a pull request
