I also use PGPDrive software, it's been around a while,, but the advantage is you can move it around, keep copies on removable media, and even use it across platforms. If you are that concerned about security, do what I do, run your own source control servers, even keep them private behind a VPN. and is better than no source control at all, but it defeats much of the purpose of it and will take much more storage space. Of course it will still work, you'll be able to revert to any revision, etc. Source control works by diffs, so encrypting it will result in the whole document changing every revision. It secures communication networks and aids in preventing illegal access to customer information, emails, and. A cipher is a term used to describe the encryption algorithm. For that reason, by encrypting the source code locally before I upload new commits In the field of cryptography, encryption is the process of turning plain text or information into ciphertext, or text that can only be deciphered by the intended recipient.
