⚖️ INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIABLE REPOSITORY PROVENANCE & TIMESTAMPING

Prove What Your Git Repository Contained — And When.

Turn Git Repository Snapshots into Verifiable Legal & Audit Evidence.

Quick Install — macOS & Linux CLI
$curl -fsSL https://gitproof.legendrail.com/install.sh | bash
🛡️ The Proof Bridge Free proves it to yourself and the internet. Pro proves it to your client, acquirer, or counsel. Community CLI gives you real RFC 3161 public notarization and badges. Upgrade to Pro for unwatermarked FRE 902 vector PDF exhibits, Corporate LLC binding (--entity), and automated CI/CD release sealing.
🔒 Source-Local Cryptographic Privacy: Code is hashed 100% locally and offline. Only blind 32-byte SHA-256 digests are sent to public RFC 3161 timestamp authorities. Source code never leaves your machine.

CERTIFICATE OF DIGITAL AUTHORSHIP

Tamper-evident electronic record documenting repository state and cryptographic timestamp. Generated natively by gproof cert with an optional unsworn declaration template under 28 U.S.C. § 1746.

Turn Repository History into Verifiable Legal & Audit Exhibits in Seconds

Three simple commands seamlessly integrated into standard developer muscle memory.

STEP 1

Seal Repository State

Computes the Merkle DAG across all blobs and anchors an atomic RFC 3161 public TSA timestamp.

$gproof seal
✓ Merkle root anchored
✓ DigiCert RFC 3161 notarized
STEP 2

Verify Offline Math Proof

Cryptographically validates commit integrity and the TSA certificate chain without internet access.

$gproof verify
[PASS] Merkle DAG tree integrity
[PASS] Author Ed25519 signature
STEP 3

Export FRE 902 PDF

Compiles a self-authenticating vector PDF certificate with a 28 U.S.C. § 1746 declaration.

$gproof cert
Exported FRE 902 PDF certificate:

Built for Engineers. Grounded in Evidence Law.

Enterprise source code protection without exposing private repositories.

STATUTORY COMPLIANCE & JUDICIAL NOTICE

Grounded in United States Federal Evidence Law

A statutory declaration, tied to a hash, tied to a public timestamp—the standard an engineer and a lawyer can stand on.

FRE 902(13) & 902(14)

Certified Electronic Records & Digital Hashes

"A record generated by an electronic process or system that produces an accurate result... [or] data copied from an electronic device, storage medium, or file, if authenticated by a process of digital identification."

How GitProof Complies: GitProof builds a canonical SHA-256 Merkle DAG across every tree and blob. Because cryptographic hash collision is mathematically infeasible, the Merkle root satisfies the digital identification requirements of Rule 902(14), proving authenticity without calling forensic experts.
FRE 902(11) & 803(6)

Business Records Exception to Hearsay

"The original or a copy of a domestic record that meets the requirements of Rule 803(6)(A)-(C)... kept in the course of a regularly conducted activity... as shown by a certification of the custodian."

How GitProof Complies: Authentication and hearsay are two distinct evidentiary hurdles. By automating pre-push hooks, GitProof records contemporaneous provenance in the regular course of development. When signed under 28 U.S.C. § 1746, the certificate provides the foundation required by Rule 902(11) and Rule 803(6).
28 U.S.C. § 1746

Unsworn Declarations Under Penalty of Perjury

"Wherever, under any law of the United States... any matter is required or permitted to be supported by sworn declaration... such matter may be supported by unsworn declaration in writing under penalty of perjury."

How GitProof Complies: GitProof generates tamper-evident repository records, RFC 3161 timestamp artifacts, independent verification outputs, and optional declaration templates designed to support electronic-evidence authentication workflows.
17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. & 35 U.S.C. § 273

Human Authorship & M&A Chain-of-Title Defense

Following the Supreme Court ruling in Thaler v. Perlmutter and U.S. Copyright Office guidance, purely machine-generated code possesses zero copyright protection; applicants must demonstrate iterative human control, modification, and arrangement.

How GitProof Complies: GitProof establishes an unbroken, timestamped Merkle DAG of granular human commits. It eliminates M&A due diligence escrow holdbacks, satisfies strict Representations & Warranties, and establishes Prior Commercial Use under 35 U.S.C. § 273 before co-founder, contractor, or patent disputes arise.
Evidentiary Note: GitProof provides cryptographic artifacts and documentation that may support authentication under applicable Federal Rules of Evidence, including Rules 902(11), 902(13), and 902(14), where their respective requirements are met. Depending on the applicable rule and record, additional certification, execution, notice, and evidentiary foundation may be required. GitProof does not guarantee admissibility or independently establish human authorship, intellectual-property ownership, or the truth of a signer's statements.
