RE: Provide source control for PBIX development

Couldn't agree more. This would be an invaluable tool, as I am currently on a team working on a data pipeline with Power BI reports. The way pbix's are stored prohibits us from utilizing source control to the extent we can with the vast majority of our other development tools.

RE: Provide source control for PBIX development

This currently works for 'proper' version control (i.e. merges/diffs/etc.): https://github.com/kodonnell/powerbi-vcs . The UI hasn't been started and it's not battle-tested, but it has worked on what I've tried so far. Feel free to submit some PRs!
