More careful is actually a stupid advice. People make mistakes, it's unavoidable. GH makes mistakes easy to correct, which is how it should be.

There are bots out there that scrape sensitive information from Github repositories. If you inadvertently push up a commit with a secret in it, then consider it compromised. Email is no different in that regard.
