Comment on Ask HN: Someone impersonates my GitHub project, what to do?

Comments

Unfortunately, such things happen more often than people realize, especially for semi-popular open source projects. You can do a few things about it. One of them is to report to GitHub about your repo being impersonated. Also, you can clarify ownership on GitHub, for example, by adding a note in your README or a dedicated .md file stating which accounts or websites are officially associated with your project
