I have a project that i want to work on open source but i'm worried about my intellectual property being stolen as i have not copyrighted the idea. Can someone explain how i can still go ahead with it using people to help me build the project?

I'm sorry but you can't ask for help on a private repository and expect people to help for free :(

Open source is a two way street, if you want help for free you have to offer something for free as well.
