This question has a FAQ entry near the bottom of TFA:
> Why not just make a bare repo in KBFS?
The Keybase filesystem journals changes and syncs them after writes, kind of like Dropbox. Which means you and another team member could be fighting each other and make a conflicted HEAD, where there'd be 2 copies side by side. Similarly, you shouldn't put git repos in Dropbox.
Keybase's git prevents this by locking.
Also: it's nicer to use the Keybase app to discover and manage your teams' repositories.
