documentation/repository-files/license-files.md:133

  • [nitpick] Use consistent casing for the citation file name—e.g., 'CITATION.cff'—to match the actual filename and other headings.
While many permissive licenses do not require citation we STRONG encourage that you cite all software that you use in papers, blogs and other publications. You tell your users how to cite your package by using a [citation.cff file](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-citation-files).
