Hi David Lang, I'm sorry, but I'm confused by your first two responses. Am I not contacting Git when I e-mail this e-mail address? You sound like you don't know exactly how GitHub works. Should I be contacting someone else for GitHub support?

You probably run your own repository that's only available within your network (or over your VPN) rather than using a cloud service like github (you may want to check with github to see if they can lock down a private repo to only be accessed from specific IP addresses) you will also need to make sure that people don't plug personal laptops into your corporate network, and that they don't use personal phones to access company e-mail. The bottom line is that it's no different from preventing them from having access to any other sensitive data in your company. What measures do you have in place to keep them from taking sensitive Word Docs or spreadsheets when they leave? do the same thing to deal with their access to code.
