Add citation file.
I suggest adding citation in CFF format. Then the "cite this repository" button will behave nicer: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-citation-files
Important: don't forget type: article in CFF, otherwise bibtex entry will be software rather than article.
How about we keep it as-is? The citation button supports BibTeX too - CFF is not the only choice. See for instance my thesis repo. From a user's point of view, almost everyone in machine learning uses BibTeX, so CFF is a less-optimal format in our situation.

I disagree. Take a look at this repo, for example. If you click "Cite this repository', there's both a quick APA-style citation and a bibtex entry to copy, without the need to load a separate page.
If you don't want to bother, I can do this myself in two days.
I also disagree. On that page, it requires more clicks for the user to get the bib entry. It also makes it more difficult for the user to get the citation directly from the package's source rather than from the GitHub website. Using .bib seems cleaner.
I can't believe this is so difficult 🫤.

No, there you click "cite this repository", then "BibTeX". It's 2 clicks.
With .bib file, you click "cite this repository", then "View citation file", then wait for a webpage to load. It's 2 clicks + page load. If you mean clicking on CITATION.bib in the tree, remember that you can always just copy the citation from README, which is zero clicks away, and also is right there in the package's source.
In any case, if you want to have a .bib file in the tree, we can keep it, but I think it makes all the sense to create a CFF to improve the UX of the "cite this repository" button. Granted they can co-exist.
