Unless you specifically need text files for git or some other reason, you
don't really need script-only stacks. Put the script in a button and then
put it in use or use it as a backscript. It will be encrypted when the
stack is. Another advantage to keeping scripts in the stack is that they
work with remote debugging, unlike text based scripts.
Brian Milby's script tracker is also a way to get the best of both worlds.
It saves scripts out to text files for uploading to github while keeping
the advantages of stack-based scripts.

What he said. The promise of creating standalones and encrypted stacks
containing code sounds promising, but there are caveats. It begs the
question, how do we encrypt script only stacks or libraries? I don’t use
encrypted stacks because my code is for internal use only, but if I ever
went commercial, this would be something I would need.

^ that's your issue.
Copying objects is disallowed in an encrypted stack, since of course once
an object is copied it could be pasted into an unencrypted stack, and thus
expose the source.
You might consider moving the code from the encrypted stack to an encrypted
behavior object, leaving the stack where copying must be done unencrypted.
But if these objects are being copied only by script for the purpose of
automatically building out a UI, without a need to alter the user's
clipboard, you might consider using the clone command instead.
