This is one of many instances where developers should not make shallow assumptions without reading the documentation. GitHub is very clear about how private repos should be used. Edit to add: would you store your bank password on a piece of paper you always leave sitting in your backyard? Think carefully about your metaphor.

> would you store your bank password on a piece of paper you always leave sitting in your backyard? Not that I'm advocating for checking passwords in git repos, Github or otherwise, but you metaphor depends on how rich you are and how bad is your neighborhood, I would think. My mom has definitely done exactly that — her medical conditions make it very hard to use bank apps without full daylight and also hard to bring the notebook home after every use — and I don't think that her password management choices, however frowned upon they may be here, have ever been a serious problem in practice.
