How do I register a GitHub repository?

Paste your public repository URL. Our system captures the README, structure and metadata, then generates a timestamped certificate.

Does the deposit protect open source code?

Yes. Even under an open source licence, the certificate proves you are the original creator. The licence defines usage rights; the deposit proves authorship.

Can I register a private repository?

For private repos, export your code as a ZIP archive and upload it directly. The SHA-512 hash will certify your code at that date.

Should I register at every commit?

No. Register at important milestones: initial version, major releases, before an investor pitch, or before making a repo public.
