Is that even at the competent level? You need to be particularly special to actually "accidentally" leak the .ssh dir via GitHub. Even incompetent people wouldn't fail to that degree for the most part.

Leaking the directory through other avenues is a different matter though. Almost all package managers provide post install and compile scripts. Hence doing (as an example) "npm install" can potentially leak it. That's something not many people actually pay attention to (you would have to basically jail every command, which sadly isn't the norm today)
