This layer adds support for the Ebib reference manager.
- Manage references
- To quickly open files from a .bib database it is probably even easier to use helm/ivy-bibtex
- To get browser-extension functionality, use of an external reference manager
might be helpful. For this case it should be noted that JabRef stores and
manages its database as a .bib file, while Zotero uses an sqlite database.
Therefore, using Jabref might be prefered.
Additionally, JabRef does not require a running instance to use its browser-extension.
Finally, if you rely on the Zotero web-api, then you might prefer to stay with Zotero and use the Emacs-zotero package.
To use this configuration layer, clone it to your spacemacs-private-directory
either from the command line with
git clone https://github.com/dalanicolai/ebib-layer.git .emacs.d/private/ebib(where you can substitute the path for your private directory if you do not use the default path),
or from Spacemacs with
M-: (shell-command (format "git clone
https://github.com/dalanicolai/ebib-layer.git %s/ebib" spacemacs-private-directory)).
Subsequently add ebib to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to
add ebib to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this
file.
