Another thing that commonly makes its way into repositories is private keys:

Probably old but still an issue:

The first hit gives you access to phpmyadmin.

There are TONS of credentials pushed to public repositories. This query

It's easy to prevent from a developers perspective, but still - there are
probably hundreds of thousands of database or other credentials pushed to
public repos.
