Subject: Using Git as a Database
Message-ID: <4B2B1EC7-6B08-4B57-A50F-702C031C2792@mateuszwielgos.com>

Hello,

I would like to use Git as a database of sorts. Let’s say I want to track weight of something in a file. When the value changes I can commit the new one. I can also figure out all previous values. That’s awesome.

What I am having trouble with is… What if a measurement is taken but there’s no change? I want to commit a file that hasn’t changed.

The only workaround I figured out is to toggle the executable bit.

Is there anything else?

Thanks,
Mateusz
