Tracking Sqlite binary file with git? (lemmy.world)

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.

Export the data and structure in SQL. SQL is plain text and suitable for git.

If data can be seeded easily only export the structure and git control it.

In Rails framework, schema file and seed file are used for structure and data.
