Fix “Exposed .git directory” on nginx

Block access to /.git at the server, and deploy build artifacts without the .git directory. Rotate any secrets found in history.

location ~ /\.git { deny all; return 404; }

Verify the fix

Re-run the Exposed .git directory check after deploying. Test config changes in staging first and keep a rollback: a wrong header can break a site faster than a missing one.
