I have a project in development that I’m working on and I frequently switch between two computers. I am including my sqlite file in git and so far it’s been fine but I’ve heard in the past that git doesn’t do well with binary? Has anyone actually had issues doing this?

I decided to perform a dump just in case so i dont have to start from scratch if something does go wrong.

    git is, however, bad with files that don’t have meaningful small binary diffs. And the page size for SQL binary files is small enough that that is in fact a problem (though this is not nearly as bad as already-compressed files).

    If you disable VACUUM that can give a rough idea of what git actually has to deal with. But you really shouldn’t.
