> With Dolt, you can view a human-readable diff of the data you received last time versus the data you received this time.

How is this accomplished if the data is binary?

Also, how does this compare to git lfs?

No data diffs is the data is binary. But diffs are cell-wise like so: https://www.dolthub.com/repositories/Liquidata/corona-virus/...

git-lfs lets you put store large files on GitHub. With Dolt, we offer a similar a similar utility called git-dolt. Both these allow you to store large things on GitHub as a reference to another storage system, not the object itself.
