This is a long journey. It involves:\n\n1. Coming up with a good idea.\n2. Planning your implementation.\n3. Developing the program.\n4. Testing your code.\n5. Refining it to fix any bugs you discover in testing.\n6. Releasing the software.\n\nWith `i-made-this`, you can skip directly to step 6!\n\n**What does it do?**\n\nThis script clones an existing github repository, renames it and publishes it to your github profile after removing the git history and license.\n\n### Usage Instructions\n---\n\n0. Create a new repository on GitHub for your hard work to be hosted in.\n1. Navigate to the local directory you'd like to \"build your project\" in.\n2. `$ ./i-made-this` and follow the prompts.\n\n### Inspiration\n---\n\nI found a copy one of my open-source personal projects, [`shallow-backup`](https://www.github.com/alichtman/shallow-backup), on someone else's GitHub. Now, this is exactly how the open source community should work, right? When you find a project you'd like to contribute to, you fork it and work on it.\n\nExcept, this wasn't exactly how my project was copied...\n\nThe repo I found had near-identical source code to my repo, except all the information that identified me as the author was removed.\n\nThe plagiarizing developer had stripped out:\n\n1. Author tags I left at the top of the source code\n2. MIT license in my name\n3. Credit for a block of code written by a [good friend of mine](https://github.com/shobrook)\n\nAdditionally, they had replaced every instance of `shallow-backup` with a new name and swapped in new graphics.\n\nI figured I could help by automating some of this process.\n\n### License(d)\n---\n\nIronically, it actually is licensed.\n\n### Acknowledgements\n---\n\n+ Comic by [neodroidcomics](https://nedroidcomics.tumblr.com/post/41879001445/the-internet)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falichtman%2Fi-made-this","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Falichtman%2Fi-made-this","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falichtman%2Fi-made-this/lists"}
