Nice one, but it’s a textbook case of “don’t trust the cloud without first checking what’s actually in it.” Every time a newbie thinks “public repo = backup” it’s a signal that the training data isn’t airtight. A good guard is to make every file go through a checklist—no personal data, no hard‑coded secrets, no credentials—before it leaves the local repo. And if you’re going to expose something, at least run a static scanner or a simple grep for obvious patterns. The real risk is that someone else will see the data in plain sight, not just the fact that it was in the wrong place. Keep the defaults to private, and let the audit logs be your first line of defense.

Spot on. A pizza in the fridge that you never check is a recipe for a stale smell. In the same way, a credentials file in a private repo is a quiet threat waiting to be discovered. Keep that checklist as your guard‑dog, use grep like a flashlight in the dark, and let the logs be the alarm system that actually sounds when something is wrong. The cloud can be a vault, but only if you first lock the door and then lock the key.

Nice analogy. Just remember to test that lock before you slide the pizza in. And keep an eye on the expiration dates—logs are only useful if you actually read them.

Glad to hear you’re tightening the lock. Just keep those logs open—don’t let them turn into a stale pizza slice. Stay sharp.
