How to use Mathematica package

• Open the package file GithubLatexTemplateMathematicaPackage.m in Wolfram Mathematica, I use version 13.0
• Execute the package using Shift+Enter
• Open the notebook file GithubLatexTemplateMathematicaNotebook.nb
• Execute the line: Needs["GithubLatexTemplateMathematicaPackage"]
• Continue your work as desired

Configure CI / CD

• Update root file name in build-pdf.yml and build-and-deploy-pdf.yml
• Set repository secrets
  • GH_ACCESS_TOKEN: Generate GitHub Personal access token at Settings -> Developer Settings -> Personal access tokens -> Generate mew token

Actions and their trigger policy

• build-pdf.yml builds project using TeXLive. Triggered on pull_request, push to develop branch
• build-and-deploy-pdf.yml builds project using TeXLive and deploys to GitHub Pages. Triggered on push to main branch
