GitHub protection

Protect your GitHub repositories

Developers, startups, open source: secure your GitHub repositories with automatic cryptographic proof of authorship.

repositories protected

Protecting your source code on GitHub means freezing the state of your repository at a specific moment. Copyright01 downloads a complete archive of your repo and extracts via the GitHub API all metadata: commit count, stars, forks, language breakdown, licence and project structure.

In case of intellectual property dispute over your code, your timestamped certificate with SHA-256 fingerprint of the ZIP constitutes solid proof of prior existence. Compatible with public and private repos (via OAuth).

Do you also build websites? Protect your website or your source code as ZIP archive.
