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.

The problem is mainly that the size of your git repo blows up really quick with regularly changing binary files. Also, merge conflicts exist but I think git would just make you choose which binary to keep.
