Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that someone ripped off some of your code/repos. It is identical to yours, same code, same commits, but it is not forked. Someone took your git history and rewrote it to make it appear that they are the author. This guy did the same for some other devs too. I let all the original authors know what I can find.

So far I've found these 2 repos:

I tried to report the guy to GitHub, but they told me the following:

If you're not the copyright holder, your best bet would be to contact the owner of the content and let them decide if they'd like to take action.
