| Jan 10, 2020 at 7:33 | comment | added | Kiril | @Rich So is putting it on a private computer. Any unauthorized handling of the code is just asking for a lawsuit. | |
| Jan 9, 2020 at 15:07 | comment | added | Rich | Please, OP, do not do this. Putting company code onto a private repo is just asking for a lawsuit. | |
| Jan 9, 2020 at 10:41 | comment | added | WendyG | there are other source control systems than git, how about one of them? | |
| Jan 9, 2020 at 9:41 | comment | added | Ismael Miguel | "If you use your own git with a private project, you can get your work done and not worry about it." <-- Or make your own git server using whatever parts the O.P. has. Even if it means using a Raspberry PI Zero, with all the stuff inside an external drive with backups to somewhere else. Like a local file sharing server. This way, the git is all in the company: none in O.P.s laptop. | |
| Jan 9, 2020 at 8:58 | comment | added | 520 says Reinstate Monica | @Kiril from a legal perspective it is completely different; how secure the third party provider is becomes irrelevant when the company did not give permission to store their IP on there. They could sue OP if he does put it on there and they find out. | |
| Jan 9, 2020 at 8:30 | comment | added | WGroleau | Quibble: I like git, but these answers make it sound like no other version control system exists. | |
| Jan 9, 2020 at 8:19 | comment | added | Kiril | @520saysReinstateMonica If the cloud provider is providing sufficient security, then his private account is marginally different from his personal computer (from the standpoint of his company and/or the client). If either is actually concerned about the security of the code, then they should provide a git repository and OP should be restricted to a work laptop. Again, seems like an argument of minor difference given sum of all issues. | |
| Jan 8, 2020 at 16:10 | comment | added | Azurry | I did update with some more info but yes the git issue as I understand it stem's from the fact that if they find its on the internet i'll sell the application or use it as a CV piece for a new job and yeah I know its on my machine the contradictions are endless | |
| Jan 8, 2020 at 14:55 | comment | added | 520 says Reinstate Monica | @Kiril Having the code on a personal computer is a very different problem to distributing it to a cloud service. OP does not have the legal right to distribute the code in this manner, but the company has granted the right to have the code on OP's PC. | |

Clarification
|
| Jan 8, 2020 at 14:49 | comment | added | Kiril | It seems like OP is able to use a personal computer, so that indicates that either he's free to choose the way to secure the code (i.e. the client is OK with it) or his company is OK with it. A personal computer is no different than a personal git account. If this was the only issue, then I'd say that he can solve it by taking a personal initiative to use git. However, the issue is much bigger. | |
| Jan 8, 2020 at 14:30 | comment | added | undefined | I wouldn't use anything personal for work related stuff. Not even my git. | |
| Jan 8, 2020 at 14:26 | comment | added | 520 says Reinstate Monica | Using personal git repositories for company work without it being signed off is a BAD move. Potentially lawsuit levels of bad. Do not do it. | |
