Right way of tracking a sqlite3 binary file in git?

Question

I maintain a fork of a repo.

That repo which has been tracking a binary file (which is a sqlite3 file).

Every time I pull from that repo, I experience merge

Answer 1

You could define a custom merge driver specifying to always "keep theirs" (copy the version you are pulling) on top of your current version.

.gitattributes

mysqlite3.db merge=keepTheir

(That being said, remember binaries aren't always best managed with Git, especially if they are modified often)
