Group policy and it controls can be pretty impressive. They can be notified when a user even just plugs in a thumb drive. Organization dependent of course.

And then it tells them about the thumb drive connect the next time you log in because it logged it.

I wouldn't risk it, but you do you.

It's wild how different some companies are from the one I'm at. I was just given a laptop of my choice, and told to put my choice of OS on it.

Can't you pull and then push to a private fork? I never had to sneak around for this sort of thing, because that laptop I'm using to write this message is the very same laptop from my old job (they sold it to me for $100 when I left) and I have my old code. It's useful in the moments when I'm like, "I know I did something like this about four years ago... how did I do that?" but it's also useful because I can cringe at some of my old code from like 4 years ago.
