How do people track DBC changes. I'm probably getting something wrong, but I imagine ACore has changes that will generate new DBC files, and those would fight against any custom changes I make, so what's the method of creating/editing content, while still being able to get upstream changes?

Great, so I suppose a working strategy is just to have a second git repo, dump all of that into LFS and then I can make whatever changes I need and maintain a custom set of client data?

Then if I say add/edit some spell data:
- Change it in the DBC's
- add something to the custom sql folder to reflect it on the DB
- Generate a patch and save that on the client
?

i would say pushing binary files to git is just pointless u would still need text evidence of what changed otherwise u would be instantly lost

oh 100%, but just something to track commit messages like "added spell XYZ" that I can revert back if needed

Am i right in thinking those are the 3 steps though?
- Make adjustments in DBC
- add custom SQL file if it needs DB adjustments too
- Generate a patch for the client
