It would be good if Gitea offered support for the new citation file format, cf. https://citation-file-format.github.io/ and https://blog.front-matter.io/mfenner/step-forward-for-software-citation

This is intended to allow scientists to cite software repositories. I can imagine an implementation similar to Github: Similar to the buttons for forks and downloads of repositories, there may be a new button. This will only be shown if the CITATION.cff file exists. With one click the user can copy the citation as e.g. BibTeX to the clipboard.

Was just thinking about opening an issue on Codeberg asking for this integration. Glad to see Gitea is already on it :-)

I really agree, it would be great if Gitea (and by extension, Codeberg) offered support for this.
The links provided by @SommerEngineering offer a very good summary on CFF. I have nothing to add, really, except for a big thumbs up!
