CFF Init

CFF Init is a user-friendly online tool for creating Citation File Format (CFF) files for software or code. CFF is a simple format that allows researchers and developers to add citable metadata about their projects directly to the project directory in the form of a CITATION.cff file. With CFF Init, you can create new CITATION.cff files or update existing ones.

Platforms such as GitHub and Zenodo support the format and generate corresponding citation suggestions from the specified metadata.
