Git Privacy and SSH things

Goto https://github.com/settings/emails and check "Keep my email addresses private" & "Block command line pushes that expose my email"
    https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-email-preferences/setting-your-commit-email-address
Create SSH Key (ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com")
    Put the public key in at https://github.com/settings/keys

GitHub Good to Knows

Basically impossible to remove secrets from github repository besides deleting it, all it's forks, and maybe more.
    This says it can be done, but it isn't accurate: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/removing-sensitive-data-from-a-repository
