我在 Windows 和 OS X 上工作。在 Mac 上，我喜欢 BibDesk 以及它显示关键字和链接文件的方式。在 Windows 上，我使用 JabRef，它很好，但不是 BibDesk。
我遇到的主要问题是如何保存文件。我将.bib文件保存在 git 下，当我在一个应用程序中打开文件、编辑某些条目并保存文件时，所有条目都会被修改，因此 git diff 并不能表明实际更改了什么。例如，以下是 BibDesk 保存一个条目的方式：
@article{bib:farzaneh,

以下是 JabRef 保存的方式（我没有编辑它，只是打开并保存了文件）。请注意，内容没有改变，但大小写、间距和输入顺序是：

}
有什么方法可以改变（在任一程序中）条目的保存方式，以使其保持一致？
答案1
解决您的问题的一个方法是将一个脚本添加到您的 git 工作流中，该脚本重新格式化您的 .bib 文件。 其中一个工具处于biber工具模式。
呼叫：
$ biber --tool example.bib
生成一个格式良好的文件，文件名为example_bibertool.bib：

您现在可以重命名并提交它。
另外：biber可以做更多的事情（排序、转换、重新编码），只需查看第 3.12 节手动的。
