I want to cite this Github repository.

[SCH-YcHan]

Hello, I am a graduate student doing stock research. I have done study on predicting stock price trends using ta-lib and I am currently writing a paper. However, I couldn't find any Citation File Format (CFF) files in this repository. I am currently writing a paper in the Overleaf environment and would like to cite it in BibTeX format.

So I want to write BibTeX in the format below, is this the right format?

@misc{ta-lib2022, author = {John Benediktsson}, title = {ta-lib}, year = {2022}, publisher = {GitHub}, journal = {GitHub repository}, howpublished = {\url{[https://github.com/mrjbq7/ta-lib]}} }

There are multiple contributors, and it was released before 2022, but I'm not familiar enough with how citations for software projects are done... what do you suggest?

I added a minimal CITATION.cff file just now, but I don't know how best to include multiple contributors or other fields... suggestions welcome.

Thank you so much for adding the CFF file.

The CFF file format is usually written like the URL below: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-citation-files

The doi of the CFF file can be issued at the following URL: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/archiving-a-github-repository/referencing-and-citing-content

Also, you can easily create a CFF file through the URL below: https://citation-file-format.github.io/cff-initializer-javascript/#/

It may be a little cumbersome, but once you make it, researchers can easily cite this repository.
