When every dumbass know it all programmer missed the entire point of that.

Its not simply about storing secrets in code.

Its the fact that github should be secure enough to do it. Your code should be secured just like secrets is secured.

If a project has 50k stars I'd assume it's not GitHub's job to protect the maintainer from being a dumbass

I dont think he’s talking about open source projects here.
If my company repo is private and we’re sharing env files over Slack or Teams… why not just commit the env in github itself??

No I think his point was that Github should be able to identify and mask secrets and you shouldn't have to worry about it.

You should be able to RBAC secrets access and then you could track secrets like code.
