I accidentally had .authinfo in a dotfiles git repo at work. Secret scanning finally noticed and yelled at me. Ooops.

Now, yes. But that was a little tedious to set up, and I wasn't thinking it through closely when I got my dotfiles stowed and under control.
However version control of dotfiles has saved me significant headaches. Other than the semi-public internal leak.

@Sdowney @worldsendless totally agree on both.
I have my full emacs config including Elpa packages in my repo. If something brakes you can easily roll back to a working state. New laptop? Up to speed within an hour.
As useful as gpg is it requires some research.
