### Inspiration

A while ago, 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 profile. 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 what was in 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, she had replaced every instance of `shallow-backup` with a cheeky new name and swapped in new graphics.
I figured I'd automate some of this process to help out any other _SoFtWaRe EnGiNeErS_ that would like to steal my work in the future.
