Editing Individual TMDL Files Locally

Mike & Tommy tackle the messy reality of CI/CD for Power BI in the age of TMDL and PBIR, weighing whether Fabric Deployment Pipelines or Azure DevOps—or both—offer the right path forward. They explore why selective file commits feel impossible despite text-based artifacts, when each approach makes sense, and whether mixing deployment methods creates more problems than it solves. The conversation cuts through DevOps hype to reveal what actually works for BI teams navigating source control, pull requests, and environment promotion.
