A system and method of authenticating a development environment include receiving, by one or more processors associated with a source code repository, a development profile from a development environment. Sending the development profile to a trusted profile verifier to be registered as a trusted development profile. Receiving a pending source file commit request, where the pending source file commit request includes source code files and a current development profile. Facilitating verification of whether the current development profile matches the trusted development profile. When it is verified that the current development profile matches the trusted development profile, accepting the source code files.
