Question

I’m looking for a remote version control system, and was looking at github. They clearly state that they do not store the data encrypted, but instead focus on server security.

Fair enough, but I’d like my stored data encrypted as its the basis of my entire business.

Are there other git hosting providers that you can recommend, that store data encrypted?

Or am I just being paranoid?

“gitcrypt” is one option for saving encrypted data on github (and dropbox, etc):

There is controversy about client-side encryption:
