The idea is that git is for source code/configs. Not data. Data gets stored in databases. Secrets/Tokens are stored in secret stores/vaults. Blobs like PDFs/etc should be stored in blob storage.

If a diff is not useful, don't store it in git. Doing a code review on PII is not useful.

You also shouldn't add packages in a git repo if they can be downloaded immutably in CI/locally. It adds a lot of space. Every commit is a snapshot + new code. Commits are not diffs.
