When it comes to git... which repository are you exactly concerned with?
If it is only the remote one but you are okay with a readable local repo
(you have your local repo on encrypted storage anyways, don't you?), you
can git push to an encrypted remote.  I used to use git remote gcrypt
(https://github.com/spwhitton/git-remote-gcrypt) for that.  It encrypts
the entire remote repository with GnuPG.  All you see there are hashed
file names with encrypted content.

HTH.

Kind regards,
 Frank.
