Building the Documents

This project uses just as a command runner to simplify LaTeX builds.

Nix package manager

When having nix installed, all documents can be built by running nix build or individual documents with nix build .#thesis without having to install anything.

Prerequisites

• A LaTeX distribution (e.g., TeX Live, MiKTeX)
• just command runner

Usage

Navigate into the desired subdirectory (e.g., thesis/) and run:

just build

To list available commands:

just --list

Output Files

All output files (e.g., .pdf, .aux, .log) are excluded from version control. Final PDFs can be downloaded from the Releases page.
