Archive repository on Zenodo

[cthoyt]

While GitHub is an excellent place to centralize your code and keep it under version control, it is not so appropriate for archiving the state of the repository. Zenodo is a proper alternative, and it will even make your life easy by connecting to GitHub. I'd recommend following this tutorial to:

1. log in to Zenodo with your GitHub account
2. Enable its usage on the https://github.com/Kohulan user
3. Create a "release" on GitHub, which automatically notifies Zenodo to make an archive
4. Go to the Zenodo page and grab the newly minted DOI which corresponds to the code as a resource
   a. Put the badge on the GitHub page (it will allow you to copy+paste the markdown already prepared for you)
   b. Put the DOI in your manuscript and mention that you're using Zenodo to do it.

I personally thing Zenodo is the best tool for code because of its integration with GitHub, but other services exist for archiving your research output that are also good, such as Figshare.

Thank you for the nice suggestion. The initial release is now achieved in Zenodo and once I will update the documentation I will do another release.

Don't forget to put a fancy badge in the readme after :)

Yup, it is already there in the readme. :)
