Papis is a command-line based document and bibliography manager. Its command-line interface (CLI) is heavily tailored after Git.

With Papis, you can search your library for books and papers, add documents and notes, import and export to and from other formats, and much much more. Papis uses a human-readable and easily hackable .yaml file to store each entry’s bibliographical data. It strives to be easy to use while providing a wide range of features. And for those who still want more, Papis makes it easy to write scripts that extend its features even further.

Papis has grown over the years and there are now a number of projects that extend Papis’ features or integrate it with other software.
