Widely depends on the data your app is working with. Tho generally not a good practice unless its a necessity and you really know what you are doing.

That's where GitHub private repo comes in? if you need online git?

For example, I still sometimes need git CI/CD.

Also, how do I let people post server-side issues without making it public?

People can post if you provide a drop box. Either email (which isn't necessarily secure, but not too bad), or a web page form.

I have seen a GitHub repo with only one file, README.md, though. Not sure how people manage that.

Oh, I see. I thought you were trying to allow people to post issues without their post being public. Sorry
