Dissecting PBIP files - Power BI

With the Git versioning video by Will, i got introduced to PBIP format, which allows to store the Power BI Reports as a project with set of files and folders with all files being a text based file formats (unlike a single .pbix file) which hence enables git versioning for PowerBI reports.

I found it interesting to compare and deep dive further on what all files it has got, and how those are organized and works together. So, sharing this diagram I prepared for my understanding with you all, please feel free to add or correct things.

PS: Got a document on this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/projects/projects-overview#open-a-power-bi-project

PS2: Got these interesting pages on TMSL & TMDL formats from Eivind: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/power-bi/developer/projects/projects-dataset
