Thank you!

I just found out that there is a new answer on the stackexchange post that I referenced in the other linked issue: https://academia.stackexchange.com/a/172780

It turns out GitHub actually has builtin support for this. Would it be too much to ask to convert this README section into a CITATION.cff file (https://citation-file-format.github.io/)?

That should provide all information needed to cite hyperfine.
