> If someone else wants to claim my work as theirs, it's annoying
yeah, this is probably it. It's just annoying that they have taken credit for my work while intentionally excluding me from the credit.
I don't have enough time or money to engage them on a legal level so I guess we'll just see how it plays out.

Could you barrage their repo with ‘issues’ where you ask why they stole your work? I imagine the users would stumble upon that
If it bothers you enough to take action, and you've waited a reasonable amount of time for the other person to respond, your options are probably international copyright lawsuits or DMCA requests. Lookup the github dmca procedure and make a request with the proper information and go where it takes you. Expect to be called out as unreasonable, but whatever.
