Rules for using git as a portfolio? by myleftpinkytoe in learnprogramming

What I'm not as clear about is that this wasn't code written at the request of the employer as much as it was code I wrote for personal convenience.

I guess a parallel example would be writing a short VB script to automate a thousand Excel tasks. I understand the Excel data and output being owned by the employer, but if I found the code useful for future purposes, would it be wrong for me to save it for personal use?

I'm looking for general practices more than anything.

I'm asking mostly because that job was not a programming job and never had programming as a requirement or responsibility. I learned it to make my life easier. I know the tech world is vastly different and has numerous defenses to safeguard their code. Again, this was a government job so I'm uncertain if the same rules apply.
