# bib et al. - The "One author et al." tool

bibetal is a pure Python script that rewrites bib files to only contain one author / editor per entry. Other authors / editors are automatically replaced by *and others*, which in turn is parsed as *et al.* in most bibliographies.

### Installation

bibetal can be installed using `pip`:

```

pip install bibetal

```

### Usage

Currently, bibetal only processes one file at a time and edits it in-place:

```

bibetal 

```
