Can we report this to GitHub? |
I tried to report it under Copyright Infringement earlier, but only the repo owner can do that. They need to submit a DMCA takedown notice themselves. |
Thank you both very much. @henzosabiq this was very kind of you and great to do. All the evidence must have taken awhile to compile and I sincerely appreciate it. I'll look into how to report it. |
No problem, I'm glad this could help. I hope this gets resolved quickly. |
Hi. I thought you might want to know about this.
This person https://github.com/trinhminhtriet copied your entire repository almost entirely verbatim, except he changed references (project names, links, etc) of the original to theirs and removed attributions.
Here is the repo: https://github.com/trinhminhtriet/gitmgr
They made a thread on r/rust before to promote his other stolen project (https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1gyngfl/introducing_rmrfrs_a_powerful_filesystem_cleaning/). The project was under his profile (https://github.com/trinhminhtriet/rmrfrs). When some users pointed out the plagiarism, he did not bother addressing anything, deleted the thread, closed issues made by other users in his stolen repo, and made a proxy org 'rust-rs' to try to obscure the footstep. One user pointed out that his other repo (yours) was also stolen.
