>log in to commentI built GitProof to turn ordinary Git timestamps into legally‑recognizable evidence, using RFC 3161 timestamps and Merkle‑DAG provenance while keeping the source local. It lets you seal a repo with `$gproof seal`, then verify and export a self‑authenticating PDF. Please try the seal command and let me know what, if anything, breaks.
- Source‑Local Cryptographic Privacy: code hashed 100% locally
- Independent RFC 3161 timestamping for verifiable provenance
- Turn Git repository snapshots into legal audit evidence
- CLI integrates with CI/CD for automated sealing
GitProof creates cryptographic, legally-verifiable timestamps and provenance certificates for Git repository snapshots.

Key features
- RFC 3161 Notarization — Anchors repository Merkle root to public timestamp authorities like DigiCert and Sectigo.
- Merkle DAG Provenance — Computes deterministic SHA-256 Merkle DAG of all Git objects for tamper-evident proof.
- Offline & Local Privacy — All hashing is done locally; only blind SHA-256 digests are sent to TSA.
- Self-Authenticating PDF Export — Generates FRE 902 vector PDF certificates with optional 28 U.S.C. §1746 declaration.
- Automated Git Hooks — Pre-commit and pre-push hooks automatically create proof.json attestations.
- Badge & Profile Shields — Live SVG badges show sealed status and can be embedded in READMEs.
Use cases
- Create court-admissible evidence of code state for M&A due diligence
- Seal every release tag in CI/CD pipelines automatically
- Provide clients with verifiable audit PDFs for compliance reviews

GitProof FAQ
How does GitProof keep my source code private?+
All hashing is performed locally; only a blind 32-byte SHA-256 digest is sent to the timestamp authority.
What legal standards does GitProof support?+
It produces evidence that complies with U.S. Federal Rules of Evidence 902(11,13,14) and 28 U.S.C. §1746 declarations.
Can I use GitProof in CI/CD pipelines?+
Yes, a ready-to-use GitHub Actions workflow seals tags or merges automatically.
Is there a free version?+
The Community tier is free forever and includes the open-source verifier and watermarked PDF specimens.
What formats are exported for legal review?+
GitProof generates self-authenticating vector PDF certificates (FRE 902) and optional SVG badges.
Do I need a license for the CLI?+
The CLI is open source under MIT; a Pro license is required only for unwatermarked PDFs and enterprise features.
