If there's a managed server you don't trust, it's unsafe to put anything that authenticates you to GitHub there, because it can (e.g.) modify the git command to push malicious code. For a semi-trusted machine (e.g., you want to "git push" to work-related OSS from your work desktop, but you don't want your work HR/IT departments to have full access to your GitHub account if they decide they want it), make a new SSH key and configure it as a read/write deploy key for that one repo.
