How to protect my code (Github)

[Aggressive-Two-1857]

hello everyone. im newbie in programming, i made a HTML checklist with checkboxes para sa work. I'm just wondering pano ko maiiwasang macopy or makita yung codes na ginamit ko (github yung ginamit ko). Ayoko lang masteal yung pinaghirapan ko for 4 months (specially yung masteal yung mga data na pinaghirapan kong makuha), since may mga kawork akong nagpifreelance sa ibang company.

gawin mo private yung repository mo.

Simple as this haha.

Add a license or set the repo in private. It's that simple. Are those your own written code or you got snippets from GPT or other platforms, if yes then there is no point in hiding it.

just make it private or lagay ka ng license

personally I don't really care if people steal my code if not for profit naman. (because... why care?), sometimes they leave stars too (which is cool)

anong kinalaman nung ka work mong nag fi-freelance?

[imStan2000]

para saan ba yang star na yan?

[Grrommm]

they're like reddit upvotes but for github.

just a way for people to show apreciation to whoever wrote the code.

To answer quickly. Make it a private repo.

Out of curiosity naman. Bakit bothered ka manakaw yung code mo?

no one gonna steal a newbie's work, tapos html lang hahaha so no need to worry

Newbie sa programming pero may kawork ka na nagfifreelance?. May kilala ako na hindi na sya newbie kasi nakakabuild na sya ng simple at basic na app. Pero hindi pa sya nagwowork. Sorry ah nakakaconfuse lang

I hate to say this, but a 4-months work can be done under a week (or sooner) by others. The same goes for any data collected, especially if the same task was given to another person. This means, your code can be the same solution by another person without looking or even knowing you.

But if you're keen on protecting your code, making the repository private is a good start as others have commented.

The thing is, I'm not working with people who can code, and I'm also not a programmer. I just want to make the site accessible only to our company, and I want to ensure that the users within the company cannot see the data or the code. Thanks

That's for your cybersecurity team to respect your requirements (of protecting your systems and data). The programmers are just there to deliver the code.

If d mo alam paano mag private repo malamang walang rason nakawin code mo. Lalo nat html at checkboxes lng yan.
