IIRC, there was an article that dug through GitHub users who accidentally commited their bash history

The analysis of accidental bash_history -> github uploads appears to be https://corte.si/posts/hacks/github-shhistory/index.html …? Thanks, this is great!

Probably not a great data source for your purpose; heavily biased towards git user transcripts (ssh-keygen > ps?)

Agree that it's definitely biased, but I don't expect it to have "worse" bias than I'd get by polling people myself?

It’s interesting, but I think you might get better self-reported data, yes (maybe you could just strip out the git-related stuff?)

Yeah, that's a good idea for some things, although I wouldn't be surprised if `git` were in the top10 for people I might poll.

If I look at my own history, git is my #2 most commonly run command on my home machine. I'm not claiming that this is unbiased, but...

Huh, it’s #5 for me (surprising!) but also in a diff. order of magnitude from “cd”, “ls”, and “(editor)”.

emacs is very low for me because I just start it up once per reboot. git is high for me because the machine is new so I git clone a lot.

Ok, but wait: ssh-keygen!

Yeah, that seems a sign of bias. Users who recently learned how to use github use ssh-keygen, more likely to accidentally upload history?
