Hide_my_code is a Flutter/Dart package designed to encrypt and securely hide files within a repository using password protection. It enables developers to safeguard sensitive data such as API keys, configuration files, or private assets by encrypting them at rest. The package supports multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux, ensuring cross-platform security. Files are encrypted with strong algorithms and can only be decrypted using the correct password, reducing the risk of exposure in version control systems. Ideal for teams managing confidential codebases.
