    Well, I’m currently working on GitHub encryption plugin, that will encrypt your code on the repository from prying eyes (somebody tell me if I’m being paranoid please 🙈)

    Any one who needs to download the source code will need the plugin agent installed on the machine, that will prove that user is human, then the user will obtain token for decryption of downloaded repository.

    I don’t trust Microsoft

      Keybase had encrypted repos for private use back then. If you don’t trust Microsoft—and you shouldn’t—then stop using their products like GitHub instead of trying to build hacks atop a proprietary platform since you can’t directly modify the code.

        trying to build hacks atop a proprietary platform

        LoL Hack indeed

        Here’s a link to Keybase info, for curious minds

        This uses git remote helpers, I was about to completely ignore git as a middle-men

      You are being paranoid.

      Assuming you’re using Github to publish your own free and open-source software, remember that this is one of the basic tenets of FOSS:

      The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose

      Even purposes you don’t like or agree with.

      If you’re worried about megacorps stealing your code without giving you credit, just licence your code under the GPL or AGPL. They won’t touch it with a 10-foot pole.

        Well should I be worried about openAI touching the code then?

        With copyright infringement all over the place, I bet they have infringe more copylefts than they will ever admit.
