A faster way to copy SQLite databases between computers (via)

The approach described in Alex's article also opens up another possibility, storing your application's state (contained in the SQLite database) as plain text in a git repo. In fact, this is the approach I take with my Homebrew packages bot. Instead of using sqlite3, I use Simon Willison’s sqlite_utils package to do the dump and restore directly from the bot's Python code.
