Many people complaining about security because of the nature of the 'cloud' here. This is what I thought when github came out as well. But look today, everyone has their code (supposedly their IP) on github. Ulitmately, kite's track record on the cloud will trump any security considerations.

The difference here is GitHub doesn't auto-upload Python files without me knowing. If I open my secrets.py file I know it's not getting uploaded to GitHub because I see it's absent from the staged files.
I don't think Kite prompts you before uploading every time you open a file.

Maybe add a .kiteignore then?
Really? Github's whole business is selling on-prem versions of Github.
Do you know if Github has released any public information about this? From what I can tell, they were a profitable successful company even before they went and took some VC funding and at that point they didn't have on-prem. In general, most big companies I know use the atlassian suite instead of Github for code.
