Minimal Git Submodule of the TU Delft Light LaTeX Template

A minimal repository containing the TU Delft Light report template which can be integrated into other repositories as a submodule. The benefit of using this submodule is the ability to receive updates directly. For a full list of features, changelog, as well as examples of this LaTeX template please visit the main tudelft-light repository.

Installation

To use this repository as a submodule a .gitmodules file must be defined in the parent repository with the following contents:

[submodule "tudelft-light"]
    path = tudelft-light
    url = https://github.com/skilkis/tudelft-light-template.git
    branch = master

The easiest way to generate this file as well as clone the template is to run the following command:

git submodule add https://github.com/skilkis/tudelft-light-template.git tudelft-light

If desired, the template can be added into a subdirectory, i.e a docs/ folder as follows:

git submodule add https://github.com/skilkis/tudelft-light-template.git docs/tudelft-light

Updating

Once the submodule is installed, the following command will fetch the newest version of the template:

git submodule update --recursive --remote

If you have other submodules in the parent repository and only want to update the template, then use the following command:

git submodule update --remote tudelft-light

Note: If the docs/ subdirectoy method was used when installing the template, the above command will become:

git submodule update --remote docs/tudelft-light
