Yeah it's crazy. Just last week I caught myself just in time. I was developing an API for this website and was testing the user login with my own credentials which I saved in a variable so I wouldn't have to retype it all the time as I tested API login functions. I finished some things and pressed the 'commit' button (commit plugin in Brackets ftw) but cancelled it when I realized I was committing an admin credential to a public repository. The next step would've been to push it.
Reminds me of a story where a hosted bitcoin wallet was open-sourced right after they shut down. It was completely uploaded to github, including credentials that indirectly allowed access to an exchange where they stored a lot of their funds. It was a stupid company ran by careless people in the first place (they got hacked 2-3 times before open-sourcing an API key that was the same as a LastPass password that held their exchange password). About $350k was stolen. ($14 million by today's standards.)
