Current supported DOI types:
- Zenodo upload from a GitHub release (https://guides.github.com/activities/citable-code/)
Free software: Apache Software License 2.0
Documentation: https://doi2cff.readthedocs.io.
Installation
Requires Python 3.5 or higher.
.. code-block:: bash
pip install git+https://github.com/citation-file-format/doi2cff
Usage
To create a CITATION.cff file of a release, you must supply the doi that is associated with the release.
.. code-block:: bash
doi2cff init
For example for boatswain (https://github.com/NLeSC/boatswain)
doi2cff init https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1149011
The generated file must be checked for correctness and you are encouraged to enrich it further.
Whenever a new release is made of the software the CITATION.cff must be updated with new doi/version/release date. This process can be automated by running
.. code-block:: bash
doi2cff update <doi>
