    I 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.

Key features

6 features of GitProof
  • 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.

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.
