better-tudscr

A template for the tudscr (TUD-Script) LaTeX package. Contains an initial template for any thesis and a containerized Build with Docker, so that you don't have to fiddle around with the installation of LaTeX. Just pull the Docker image (which is around 4GB, unfortunately) and build the thesis inside.

Quickstart

1. Setup the Docker container with make setup-container
2. Build your thesis with make in-container, the thesis.pdf is copied to your folder after the build finishes.

Optional steps:

3. If your build fails, check thesis.log for further information.
4. If you are finished, stop the container with make stop-container or remove the container with make rm-container. Or do both with make teardown-container.
5. If you want a word count, use make count-in-container.

Building Locally

Use the make commands to build your thesis outside the container:

make verbose # Build the thesis (verbose)
make silent # Build and Output less information
make clean # Cleanup all auxiliary build files
make count # Count all words in the thesis

Using the Included Continuous Integration

Every time you commit something to the remote's master branch, the included Github worklow will build the thesis and upload its build artifacts (thesis.pdf and thesis.log) to the Releases as a Draft, so you can simply go and download the build artifacts from Releases tab.
