How private is private?!
-
As I signed up for the 'private' workspaces, I started to wonder .. How 'private' is a private repository.. I mean in which cases would anybody see the contents of such a repository? (when set to private and I have no others that are allowed to access the git project) Is there an implementation for encrypting files that might contain sensitive info?! if so how?

Private workspace is fully private, nobody will have access to it without your permission. Security and privacy was extremely important concepts for us when we've been designing this system - and every single decision we had to make had that in consideration. The access control system does make sure that only owner & invited members can see the content of private workspaces. That is coupled with a number of other security measures. Like, for example, fully going for HTTPS - even if that means that the site is slightly slower and/or other areas are more annoying to get right. So, yes, we do treat your privacy and security of your projects very seriously.
