It seems scary, but it's good for managing your bibliography

tammy

tammy is an (in progress) set of commands to manage bibliographic references from the command line. It's written in python 3, and uses yaml files in the citeproc format to store the references. It has neat features such as integration with the CrossRef API.

READ THE DOC

tammy has been designed to meet my needs: a minimalistic references manager, command-line based, scriptable, with a hard-to-corrupt database, that will play nicely with pandoc, and that is not based on bibtex.

Storing the database as yaml files mean that

1. I don't have to deal with running a database locally
2. I can still use grep and other things to retrieve information
3. A screw-up in one file won't corrupt my whole DB
4. I can easily edit things manually

Yes, the name comes from Parks & Rec. That show is awesome.
