Who opened the PR? Who co-authored the commits? It's clearly on Github.

So there you have it. If he looked, he co-authored then there's that.
If I put my signature on Picasso painting, it doesn't make me co-author of said painting.
Blanchard is very clear that he didn't write a single line of code. He isn't an author, he isn't a co-author.
Signing GitHub commit doesn't change that.

He used Claude to write it. Difference? The fact that I write on the notepad vs printed it out = I didn't do it?
> Signing GitHub commit doesn't change that.
That's the equivalent of me saying I didn't kill anyone. The fingerprints on the knife doesn't change that.
I'll take a commit authored by someone else and then git amend the author to myself, did I write that commit then? By your logic I did apparently.
