LaTeX template that I use as a starting point for all my documents. It is
structured in multiple files ordered numerically. To compile simply
run latexmk.
There is no need to use flakes, this template can be used with any working
LaTeX installation, but flakes allow for build reproducibility and a
standardized environment across all collaborators. This means that all the
LaTeX dependencies, pygmentize and all other dependencies are managed with
nix, allowing to compile the document without working about managing the
dependencies in different environments.
This makes it very easy to integrate the document deployment with github
actions,
any other CI or creating containers
to build the document. Using, binary caches with cachix can speed up the
compilation significantly by caching all LaTeX packages.
To build the current in the current directory run:
nix build
Or even compile the document without even cloning it before hand with:
nix build github:leixb/latex-template
To get a shell with all the dependencies available:
nix develop
Note that you can use direnv to have a controlled development environment for the document integrated with your shell.
(All this commands are using nix 2.4 with flake support)
