title: Can someone steal my code from github and publish my app?
body: <p>If my entire project is stored in a public github repo what's to stop people from downloading it and publishing it on Google play before I do?</p>
  
  <p>I want to use github to keep track of changes in a group Android project, I was told an active account would also benefit future employment, and make it public to help other students. But what if I wanted to eventually publish it to Google play? See the above question.</p>
  
  <p>I'm new to software development.</p>
