GitProof
Git timestamps are hearsay. GitProof makes them evidence
Immutable cryptographic authorship proofs for Git repositories. RFC 3161 timestamps, Merkle DAG provenance, and Federal Rule of Evidence 902 self-authenticating certificates.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Justin, creator of GitProof (https://gitproof.legendrail.com).
Git timestamps are hearsay. GitProof makes them evidence.
Here is the problem founders and engineering teams are running into right now:
1. Git timestamps are client-controlled: Anyone can run git commit --amend --date="yesterday". Because Git records whatever your local clock claims, raw
git history is legally unauthenticated hearsay under Federal Rule of Evidence 802.
2. The Post-Thaler AI Copyright Crisis: Following Supreme Court precedent and U.S. Copyright Office guidance, purely AI-generated code has zero copyright
protection. To register and defend proprietary software under Title 17, founders must prove granular, iterative human authorship. During M&A tech diligence,
buyers enforce strict IP Reps & Warranties—leading to valuation haircuts or escrow holdbacks if chain-of-title cannot be proven.
To solve this without creating a closed black box, GitProof uses an Open Verifier, Commercial Producer architecture:
🛡 100% Open-Source Verifier (MIT): The standalone verifier (legendrail/gitproof-verify) is a zero-dependency Go CLI. Opposing counsel, auditors, or judges
can inspect the Merkle tree math, parse RFC 3161 ASN.1 tokens, and verify against DigiCert/Sectigo root CAs completely offline.
📜 Self-Authenticating FRE 902 Certificates: Generates banknote-grade vector PDF certificates embedding formal statutory declarations under penalty of
perjury (28 U.S.C. § 1746) ready for investor data rooms or court exhibits.
🔒 100% Offline & Zero Telemetry: Your source code never leaves your machine. Only a 32-byte SHA-256 hash imprint touches public Time Stamp Authorities.
Install in one line:
curl -fsSL https://gitproof.legendrail.com/... | bash
It’s free forever for individual developers, with Pro and Team tiers for custom corporate entities, multi-TSA redundancy, and CI/CD automation.
I’d love to hear your feedback on the cryptographic design and workflow! 🚀
