A risk is that this other person will claim to be the original author and sue or otherwise attack you for copying their work. I am not a lawyer, but in your case I would contact one and make sure that I had enough documentation of my authorship to survive a legal claim.

Won't the github timestamps show which came first?

Something curious is that the oldest tag I can find on Github from Elegant is from March 16 [1], while the oldest tag I can find from Outstatic is from March 26 [2]

[1] https://github.com/elegantframework/elegant-cli/tree/v1.0-al...

[2] https://github.com/avitorio/outstatic/tags?after=v0.0.37

Commits tell a different story:

https://github.com/elegantframework/elegant-cli/commit/8d8d8... (March 2023)

https://github.com/avitorio/outstatic/commit/76c82a05cf82896... (August 2022)

commits can be overwritten, what is actually reliable here is GitHub's "event stream"
