How to Protect Source Code Before Sharing It
A practical evidence-first approach for developers before sharing repositories, builds, or deliverables.

Direct answer
Before sharing, freeze the artifact you care about (archive or release package), create a cryptographic fingerprint and timestamped record, then share under contract as needed—keeping the certificate for later verification.
ProofIt relevance
Developers can certify source archives or build packages with ProofIt. Only hashes go to TSA/chain systems; original code is not published on-chain.
Limits
Certification does not replace NDAs, access control, or license terms. See also https://proofit.biz/solutions/software-developers.
