People with workflows like `git add .; git commit -m 'fix'` can push wondrous things to public repos.

Only if you're raw dogging git from your home directory...

You would have to have a git repo in .ssh or higher up the tree for that to work. Otherwise you’d get one of the “directory is not a repo” messages.

I'd guess that most of us wouldn't do it by just "git init" in the home directory. There are many safer ways than that.

But we were all newbs once, and often even the newbs have access to various keys and credentials.
