A nice GitHub template for my reports and papers.
- Automatically builds the package on push to
master- Prevents pushes from breaking the compilation
- Create a new release at midnight if there is new content
- This includes a changelog, and a compiled PDF
- Some packages that I found useful
- A file structure that makes sense
This template was designed to work with the blang/latex-docker image, and latex-workshop VSCode plugin. This is optional, do what you want!
Open VSCode in this container, and run the Remote Container extension. This will open a new
instance from within the docker container with all the extensions installed. Easy.
You will need to set a personal access token with the repo scope to enable scheduled releases. This then needs to be given the name PAT to enable the workflow to access it.

- Relevant CI configuration file
As per James-Yu/LaTeX-Workshop#4052, the default build mode on save is just latexmk. In order to trigger a full build you must run
ctrl+PLaTex Workshop: Build with recipe- Select
Latexmk "latexmk 🔃"
This is done to keep the update-on-save feature. Once bibtex and makeindex have been run once, their output files are saved in the directory anyway and this shouldn't cause too many issues.
