Why keep something secret on a public repo? Is that not an oxymoron?
Also, I’m terms of encryption something like age[0] makes it much easier to not shoot yourself in the foot.

Why RSA specifically? For backups, I recommend Tarsnap. But if you really don't want to pay for encrypted cloud hosting, then check out age encryption.
