How to cite githhub repo?

[lets_see]

Hi, I am trying to cite a github repo with something like this:

@misc{github_magma,
  author = {Hanrahan, Pat},
  title = {Github - phanrahan/magma: magma circuits},
  year = {2024},
  publisher = {GitHub},
  journal = {GitHub repository},
  howpublished = {\url{https://github.com/phanrahan/magma}},
  commit = {0bad4ee},
  note = {[Accessed 31-10-2024]},
}

I am using a default IEEE style.
It produces the following reference without the github link and note.

Does anyone know how I could cite the repo with github URL and accessed date note?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

@Eric already provided all information in an answer to another question here:

How to include notes in the bibliography?

I want to mention that in some of your example cases, you don’t necessarily need the note field at all, as other more specific fields exist: Volume and DOI keys: note = "Bd. 42, DOI: 10.1007/s11623-018-0971-8" -> volume = "42", doi = "10.1007/s11623-018-0971-8" ISBN key (unfortunately not used in the default IEEE citation style) note = "ISBN: 978-1-60807-930-8" -> isbn = "978-1-60807-930-8" URL and access date keys: note = {[Online]. Verfügbar: \url{...}. Zugriff: 15.08.2024} -> url …

You have to use the keys url and urldate. In addition Typst uses CSL files in the background and the IEEE style doesn’t support the key note.

url = "https://github.com/phanrahan/magma", 
urldate = "2024-10-31"
