Microsoft Fabric offers native Git integration and deployment pipelines to facilitate version control, collaboration, and automated releases for workspace items like user data functions. This guide explains how to set up and manage Git integration for user data functions within a Fabric workspace.
• Workspace preparation and Git linking: Users start by selecting or creating a Fabric workspace containing user data functions, then enable Git integration via workspace settings by connecting to a Git provider and repository branch, optionally specifying a folder for organization.
• Branching strategy configuration: Teams are advised to adopt branching strategies such as main/develop, feature, and release branches, along with pull request and code review policies to maintain code quality and collaboration.
• Managing user data functions in Git: Each data function is stored in a function_app.py file; users clone the repository locally, edit or add functions, and update the definition.json file to reflect new functions and required libraries like numpy.
• Committing, syncing, and publishing changes: After committing changes in VS Code, users sync with the Fabric portal, update the function via source control, and publish to deploy the new or updated functions, making them available for invocation.
