How to take credit for someone else's work on GitHub
I thought this might be something different.  Have seen this happen multiple times over the years - even once just last week.<p>Colleague files an issue with a PR.  Project owners close it, say &#x27;no, not a bug&#x27;, then... commits the same thing themselves as &quot;fixed!&quot;.  Saw this years before in cvs&#x2F;svn, and... at least in the GH world there&#x27;s some evidence of the original PR author having done the work in the first place (vs being invisibly cut out).
