I currently push to a private GitHub repository (planning on moving to a self-hosted Forgejo instance soon).
Although making my nix configuration public would be safe anyway since I use sops-nix which encrypts all my passwords in the repo using a key derived from my SSH key. During nixos-rebuild it decrypts them and puts them each in their own text file at
/run/secrets, with permissions set so you need sudo to view them. (The permissions can be tweaked as needed)It was a pain in the neck to get started with initially (like NixOS itself), but it was very much worth it. (Basically a necessity since putting secrets even in a private repo is considered bad practice)
