Wouldn’t it make sense for Forgejo to encrypt private repositories so users could safely include sensitive data like logs, histories, or even login configs?

For example, I currently exclude things like my Zsh history in .gitignore in my dotfiles repo. If private repos were encrypted, I could just commit everything and sync my full setup between machines without relying on Syncthing or other tools.

Is there any plan or reason why Forgejo doesn’t encrypt private repos this way?

    Usually you don’t accidentally open a git repo and set up a ssh key and push your own credentials to a foreign repo. Usually that involes reading a manual. If those tutorial don’t cover keys, then the tutorials need to be improved. imo

    Moreover, maybe a global password save would be good
