If you discover that your code has been stolen or used without permission, follow these steps to recover your intellectual property:

1. Document Evidence

Before taking action, gather evidence of your ownership:

• Git commit history: Use git log to show your commit history with timestamps
• Screenshots: Take screenshots of both the infringing content and your original work
• Development records: Collect any documentation, emails, or other records showing your development process

2. Use the DMCA Takedown Generator

This repository includes a built-in DMCA takedown notice generator:

1. Navigate to /dmca in your application
2. Enter the URLs of both the infringing content and your original work
3. Generate the appropriate DMCA notice
4. Follow the provided instructions to submit the notice

3. Contact GitHub Support

For repositories hosted on GitHub:

1. Go to GitHub's DMCA form
2. Submit the GitHub-specific DMCA notice generated by the tool
3. Include links to both the infringing repository and your original repository
4. Provide any additional evidence of your ownership

4. Legal Action

If the above steps don't resolve the issue:
