Don't use versioning for your important assignments and writing.

...

Perhaps you should have made it a private repo, dumbass.

Github is shit. Git is good

>publishing something online, so it can become part of some AI's data set

I never posted links to it anywhere so I assumed it was private. I'm not a Sup Forums regular so I had never used it before.

>Posting thesis online
You must have brain damage

Should be trivial to prove you made those commits yourself. The academy however should worry that they didn't filter out a brainlet like you.

>Used versioning

Then literally you can show them the entire evolution of your git repo, from the very first commit onward.

>he fell for the versioning jew

>Using github of economics thesis
Fuck off you fucking faggot. You deserve it.

>What are timestamps

Hope this is not bait and you get fucked up

Brain damage.

>Uploading a fucking THESIS on github
You brought it on yourself. Isn't there any website that takes care of this, though? If not, there's an idea for startups.

Normally, the university should provide something like this.

1. use a git hoster that allows you to make your repository private.(bitbuckt, keybase, gitlab?)

2. use timestamps to defend yourself

Jesus christ dude. You use git, the software, locally, for versioning. You don't need to upload to some online shit to do that. If you want backups, then just make backups yourself, or set up a private git repo (it costs some money iirc thought).
If your story is legit and you're not just trolling, you are in no trouble, because I'm pretty sure they can just check your github and see that you added the sections in question to your thesis before the chink even published his thesis.

List of errors you have made
1 - GitHub != Git
2 - You shouldn't make your assignment submissions public for the very reason that others might copy it
3 -
>Using git
4 - Not expecting the Australians

What a fucking retard...

Link to github repository.

There is literally nothing wrong with github , even if you make the repo public the default cc is all right reserved. Furthermore timestamps and commits are ultimate proof.
