title: How secure would github hosting be for private repositories?
body: <p>I have read <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/109440/best-git-repository-hosting-for-commercial-project">this thread</a> but I'm wondering how secure such a solution would be? I know that github offers ssh/ssl support and am familiar but could someone give me a breakdown of what sort of internal security they would use to make sure my committed conf/credential files don't get hacked?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: I've read <a href="http://help.github.com/security/" rel="noreferrer">http://help.github.com/security/</a> but I would like an answer from someone who has worked with multiple repository hosts and has real-world experience with this.</p>
