As config.php is tracked by git it is easy to accidentially commit a version of the file that has actual login credentials in it.

This is typically prevented by:

having a config.php.dist file in the repository that provides a template
preventing upload of actual config.php by adding it to .gitignore
instructing users to copy config.php.dist to config.php, then add private information in there
