To maintain a simple database in Git, follow these steps:
- Initialize a Git repository in the directory where your database files are stored. Use the command git init to do this.
- Create a .gitignore file in the repository to ignore unnecessary files and directories. For a simple database, you may want to ignore temporary files, log files, and any backups. Here is an example of a .gitignore file for a simple database:

|
# Ignore temporary files
*~
# Ignore log files
*.log
# Ignore database backups
*.bak
|
- Add your database files to the Git repository using the command git add
- Commit your changes to the repository using the command git commit -m "Initial commit".
- Make changes to your database as needed, and use git add and git commit to track those changes in Git.
- To view the commit history of your database files, use the command git log.
- If you need to revert to a previous version of your database, you can use the command git checkout
By following these steps, you can maintain a simple database in Git and track changes to your database files over time.
