The main file is called My_Paper-Max-Mustermann.tex and is automatically used as the file name of the outcoming PDF file. You can change the name of the TeX file by your choice.
All packages that are included via \RequirePackage and style settings are located in style.sty.
LFS support for *.png and *.pdf files is automatically configured. Make sure your Git host does support LFS and you have Git LFS installed and initialized. Otherwise, if you wish not to use Git LFS, simply remove .gitattributes.
