title: Prevent Django SQLite db from being overwritten while pushing to Heroku
body: <p>I've got a Django application that is storing a large amount of data in it's models. The problem is, whenever I deploy to Heroku even if it's a small change, the remote database with the correct data gets overwritten with the local database of dummy data. </p>
  
  <p>Scenario:</p>
  
  <p>I have a db file <code>my_db</code> which is remote. Now, when pushing to heroku, I just <code>git add</code> > <code>git commit</code> only the files with the changes rather than the whole project. My problem lies in the fact that, it somehow still overwrites remote database with local data. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to prevent this? </p>
