Discussion on: Someone copied my code on Github and claimed it to be his own project.

You can make a copyright claim and send a takedown notice to github. I have done this on private work-related contracts when a contractor shared an otherwise private, copyrighted project. Complete instructions are here:

docs.github.com/en/site-policy/con...

Github will take it down, the person can appeal, and your takedown notice will become a matter of public record with identifying attributes removed. If you really care about this, and contacting them has had no effect, follow those instructions to resolution.
