Thanks for the FREE SOFTWARE, freecucks!
Keep putting everything online for people to steal, the GPL won't do shit about some guy stealing your project unless you have hundreds of thousands of users.

One thing is being scumbag and using others to gain advantage in your own life like a leech. I understand that. You will go far in life. You will be seen as successful person by your surroundings.
Another thing is boasting it on an anonymous Chinese cartoon video forum. That is just wrong dude.
Pic related. Stolen from /fit/, but it applies to everybody, well, unless you are true psychopath.

Don't worry, OP can donate billions of dollars to charities to make up for his malevolent deeds. All he'll have left is a mansion and servants so he can live guilt free. OP will hold society back for 50 years and literally believe that he was the good guy in the end.

How do I prevent people like OP from doing this to me?
Brayden Ramirez
not do free software
John Johnson
don't release source code do only SaaS
Anthony Williams
You don't have to
Any idiot with half a second and a shred of smarts would easily check to see which project came up first, and how many commits one has compared to the other.

Stop believing OP's bullshit as true

Cool story bro. Only problem with the whole thing is that the timestamps on your files would be a later date than the ones on the repository you cloned, and it would be blatantly obvious that you had stolen the code to anyone reviewing it for copyright infringement.
Unless of course you have some evidence that you actually did this, it sounds like you're just posting this story to get replies. I'm going to sage your thread so you get less though.
Caleb Rivera
Wtf I hate free as in freedom now
Landon Russell
You can't stop people from plagiarizing your public software. The best you can do is prove that you wrote the original.
Lucas Martin
You forgot the part where OP DMCA'd the guy's account.
Jaxson Cooper
Doesn't git use your local machine's time for commit dates? Roll that shit back and rebase and you're good
Hudson Morris
Can't you also "export" the projects from the repo which would drop all flags? Speaking from SVN experience only.
Ayden Lewis
Nice blog, where do I subscribe?

David Ramirez
>change license y tho?
Couldn't you just have left it as e.g. GPL so that this would all be legal?
Eli Lee
GPL requires you to leave copyright information intact.
OP, next time just steal code from MIT/BSD faggots. Their license specifically allows you to take their name off and it's completely legal.
Ayden Rivera
No, the BSD license also forbids you from removing the license.
It's three fucking paragraphs dude, you have no excuse to not read it and base your opinion of it on what angry virgins write about it on Cred Forums.
Dylan Roberts
MIT doesn't require attribution.

In any other domain, this would be considered illegal.

If you can't show git you are the original, it is your fault.
They are sjw and jews to begin with so I don't know why use git in the first place

Okay OP, but what do you do when you get the job?

That's where you're wrong kiddo. Only corporations have rights

You forgot to mention how you're a strong "big boned" independent transwoman fighting against soggyknees and the patriarchy.
Grayson Long
Counter sue, keep evidence, private repo, widely publish code so everyone knows you did it first, etc.

I would be interested in finding out about this as well.

If you fork a GPL or MIT/BSD project do you have to give credit to original authors and keep the same licenses and stuff?
Can't I just fork some small projects, make minor changes, and use that as a portfolio or projects for employers?
Isaiah Adams
>What is submission date.
Michael Scott
You can just keep your code in a private repo on your hdd if you're super paranoid. Github also isn't the only code-sharing site on the internet.
If you're worried about an already completed project that you're maintaining, just fight the DMCA and point out that you've been maintaining your code with regular updates, where OP just did a commit and forget with his entire codebase.
If this happened in real life, OP would be found out as a fraud in a few months in the workforce and quickly ruin his reputation.
He might have a lucrative career in QA tho...
Michael Cook
This is the proper way to use github, good job.
Jack Torres
Don't fall for the "FOSS is good" meme.

So what did you do about the commit history?

Timestamps on github and copyright is a thing within OSS too. You could have been cucked for fraud so it's not recommended.
You deserved the job anyway if the fucking HR fags didn't double check what are they see, but you can't do this with much people.
Joseph King
And DMCA's decision cannot be challenged. Oh wait...
