srcguard

Installation

npm install -g srcguard

Usage

Initialize in your project

srcguard init

This creates a unique license key for your project and sets up auto-protection for your code.

Important: The generated license.key file contains your encryption key. Keep it secure and don't commit it to your repository.

Lock your code

srcguard lock

This encrypts all your source files and replaces them with placeholders. Your original code is safely stored in the .srcguard directory.

Unlock your code

srcguard unlock

You'll be prompted for your license key. Enter it to restore all your original files.

How It Works

srcguard uses strong encryption to protect your intellectual property:

1. Initialization: Generates a unique key and sets up Git hooks for auto-protection
2. Locking: Encrypts your files and stores them in a hidden directory
3. Unlocking: Requires the correct license key to restore files
4. Auto-Protection: Automatically locks your code before commits/pushes

Features

• ✅ Strong AES-256 encryption protects your intellectual property
• ✅ Git integration automatically secures your code before sharing
• ✅ Simple key-based access for authorized developers
• ✅ Minimal dependencies for better security and performance
• ✅ Easy setup with just a few commands

Security Notes

• The .srcguard directory contains encrypted versions of your files - do not delete it
• Keep your license.key file secure and don't share it with unauthorized users
• srcguard adds the license file to .gitignore automatically

Common Issues

Q: I lost my license key. Can I recover my code?
A: Without the license key, your files cannot be decrypted. Always keep a backup of your license key in a secure location.

Q: Will this work with any programming language?
A: Yes, srcguard works with any text-based source files, regardless of programming language.
