Citing a specific version

There is no DOI yet: CORA is pre-1.0 and has no tagged release. Cite the commit you used until one exists, and prefer the repository URL (https://github.com/xmap/cora) over this site's URL, because the site is rebuilt from main on every push and carries no version history.
