Show HN: BootProof – Cryptographically prove any GitHub repo boots locally

Category: devtools

Tags: attestation, reproducibility, trust

Score: 7.5/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

BootProof is an open-source tool that cryptographically verifies and attests that a GitHub repository can actually boot from a clean start, addressing the trust gap between claimed functionality and reality. By providing signed, tamper-proof execution receipts, it offers a novel solution for verifying runnability in an era of AI-generated or poorly documented code, making it particularly interesting for developers and AI agents who need proof over promises.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, security engineers
