pbi-tools is a command-line tool that enables Source / Version Control of Power BI (thin) reports and datasets. Much like the folder structure generated by Tabular Editor, pbi-tools creates a Report Layout structure based on files in the .pbix. In these articles, we go into the background of this tool & how to use it.

An important note if you are using Sensitivity Labels - files with Sensitivity Labels are currently not supported with pbi-tools. More info on that at the bottom of the article.

In this article, I explain how workspace mode in Tabular Editor 3 makes Source Control easy by letting you simultaneously save changes to disk but also to a service dataset for testing. I then explain how this can work when collaborating on a model, for example, using Git Branching in Power BI development.
