Once the `CITATION.bib` file is created,\nfeel free to add other entries to it - for example, a software paper\npublished in the [Journal of Open-Source Software](http://joss.theoj.org).\n\n## Usage\n\nSay you are using [ndarray](https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray.git)\nfor your work, but they have not published a CITATION.bib yet:\n\n```\n$ git clone https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray.git\n$ cd ndarray\n$ cargo cite\n```\n\nA `CITATION.bib` file has been created. To add the reference to this file\nin the README, run:\n\n```\n$ cargo cite -r\n```\n\n## Available options\n\nSee `cargo cite --help` for options.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmatbesancon%2Fcargo-cite","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmatbesancon%2Fcargo-cite","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmatbesancon%2Fcargo-cite/lists"}
