> However, there's absolutely no question that I'm the sole contributor to all my code. Most of my repos have only one contributor (Yours Troolie). A couple have been forked off.

A bad actor could easily just have someone else write the code or copy it though.

I think that realistically, the only person who could fabricate a repository commit structure in a way that wouldn't be clear that is what they had done, would be someone who can program. If I am taking a working program, and slowly breaking it up into pieces starting with tests, and simpler components, fabricating the addition of new components each commit. That is work in my opinion, only an actual programmer could falsify, and if they are an actual programmer they would have actual repositories.
