Description
JabRef supports sharing libraries with GitHub https://blog.jabref.org/2025/11/11/introducing-git-integration-in-jabref/ but the manual is missing the following points.
- Explanation of the feature
- How to configure a PAT
- How to init a remote repo
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Locate the JabRef manual section covering library sharing or Git integration and review the linked announcement for context. Document the feature, PAT configuration, and remote-repository initialization; done means all three points are explained clearly in the manual.
