GitHub to BibTeX Citation Generator

About

A simple web tool that takes any GitHub repository URL and generates a properly formatted BibTeX citation. It uses the repository’s CITATION.cff file if available, and gracefully falls back to GitHub’s API metadata otherwise.

Technologies Used

• HTML5
• CSS3
• JavaScript (ES Modules)
• js-yaml for parsing .cff files
• highlight.js for BibTeX syntax highlighting
• GitHub REST API

Development

The focus was on keeping the app lightweight and clean, no server needed.
