Git is just a format for storing data with a record of how that data changed. Saying you shouldn&#x27;t store it in git seems rather like saying you shouldn&#x27;t store it in btrfs. It&#x27;s true that <i>if</i> your btrfs disk image becomes public, the data is recoverable, and it&#x27;s hard to reliably scrub deleted files from btrfs, but that doesn&#x27;t mean it&#x27;s the wrong tool for a filesystem (or a repo) that stays entirely internal.<p>Saying that you shouldn&#x27;t keep it on <i>GitHub</i> is different, and I might be more inclined to agree with that, but it still seems like it&#x27;s not a 100% rule.
