To maintain a simple database in Git, follow these steps:

  1. Initialize a Git repository in the directory where your database files are stored. Use the command git init to do this.
  2. 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:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
# Ignore temporary files
*~

# Ignore log files
*.log

# Ignore database backups
*.bak


  1. Add your database files to the Git repository using the command git add
  2. Commit your changes to the repository using the command git commit -m "Initial commit".
  3. Make changes to your database as needed, and use git add and git commit to track those changes in Git.
  4. To view the commit history of your database files, use the command git log.
  5. 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.
