Adding citations to GitHub repositories

Tucked away in GitHub's changelog for July is a nifty new feature that should thrill academics everywhere: the ability to add citation files to your repository, telling users how to cite your software or data.

Now, if you add a CITATION.cff file to the root of your repository in Citation File Format, GitHub will automatically parse the information into APA and BibTeX formats and include a "Cite this repository" link in the About sidebar.
