Hopefully this question is not off-topic: I find myself constantly scping files from a remote server, and I want to keep a bash script in GitHub that invokes scp and brings files. Is it safe to let the world know the server and the path from which I copy files? I know nothing about security, but is the following situation possible? Imagine somebody modifies one of the dependencies of my project (another open source project I don't own). In a function I call from that project, a person hides something that ssh and removes the files in my path. Should I simply gitignore my bash script, or is it safe?
