How should we cite pixi?

[twrightsman]

Is there a preferred way of citing pixi? I currently have the following in BibTeX, using guidance from the Academia StackExchange:

@misc{bib-pixi,
  author = {Arts, Ruben and Zalmstra, Bas and de Jager, Tim and Vollprecht, Wolf},
  title = {pixi},
  year = {2023},
  publisher = {GitHub},
  journal = {GitHub repository},
  howpublished = {\url{https://github.com/prefix-dev/pixi}},
  commit = {745862373f60a90c77b70fb68365af54614d571e}
}

This renders in APA format as:

Arts, R., Zalmstra, B., Jager, T. de, & Vollprecht, W. (2023). pixi. GitHub.

Is this appropriate? I have little idea which contributors should be listed and in which order, so I restricted it to just the prefix.dev team.

GitHub supports citation files: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-citation-files

Good point @pavelzw; Pixi is lacking one at the moment.
