i-made-this

• 
• i-made-this is the best way to quickly deploy high-quality projects on GitHub.
• Why struggle through building something impressive when plenty of developers have already done it?
• **Just copy someone else's code and take credit for it!**
• Most devs have to go through the entire software development process. This is a long journey. It involves:
• 1. Coming up with a good idea.
• 2. Planning your implementation.
• 3. Developing the program.
• 4. Testing your code.
• 5. Refining it to fix any bugs you discover in testing.
• 6. Releasing the software.
• With i-made-this, you can skip directly to step 6!
• **What does it do?**
• This script clones an existing github repository, renames it and publishes it to your github profile after removing the git history and license.
• ### Usage Instructions
• 0. Create a new repository on GitHub for your hard work to be hosted in.
• 1. Navigate to the local directory you'd like to "build your project" in.
• 2. $ ./i-made-this and follow the prompts.
• ### Inspiration
• I 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.
• Except, this wasn't exactly how my project was copied...
• The repo I found had near-identical source code to my repo, except all the information that identified me as the author was removed.
• The plagiarizing developer had stripped out:
• 1. Author tags I left at the top of the source code
• 2. MIT license in my name
• 3. Credit for a block of code written by a [good friend of mine](https://github.com/shobrook)
• Additionally, they had replaced every instance of shallow-backup with a new name and swapped in new graphics.
• I figured I could help by automating some of this process.
• ### License(d)
• Ironically, it actually is licensed.
