Hi all, I’m considering re-entering the job market and realized my GitHub profile could use some updates. I have several work projects that I’m proud of and would like to showcase, but I need to ensure I don’t reveal any confidential or proprietary information. One of the projects involves interacting with Salesforce to post messages about user bills and attach related files.
While I know asking my manager for permission would be the safest route to avoid any legal issues, I’m not ready to let them know I’m job hunting yet. I’m wondering if there are best practices or precedents for sharing work-related code on GitHub without compromising confidentiality or getting into trouble.
Thanks
Obtaining explicit permission is the best way to ensure you do not breach any confidentiality agreements. It is a precaution that provides legal protection.
Consider developing a simplified or abstracted version of your project that highlights your skills without exposing sensitive information. This could involve using mock data or general implementations to showcase your work while maintaining confidentiality.
