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?

Git by default interprets all files as source code, and supports some convenient features such as converting newline characters. It also enables text file diffs for all files by default, which might not be what you want to do with stuff like SQLite databases.

Nevertheless, Git also supports non-source files. You only need to tell them which ones are they, and what it should do with them.

For that, Git supports Git attributes. For your particular case, you will need to create a .gitattributes file in your repository, and add a regex that matches your SQLite files.

Git also allows you to diff your SQLite databases with your own custom diff tool. For that you need to create your own diff script, configure your Git install to invoke your Git script for specific types of diff, and then get back to your Git repository where you added git attributes for the SQLite files, and update the git attributes to set the diff type as your custom SQLite diff script.
