This repo is a set of miscellanea that I would like to share with students, and followers in general, for wider benefit. You are welcome to fork, clone, modify, etc. (as indicated in the license). Each section of the following corresponds to a folder in the repo. The objectives of sharing this are:
-
giving motivation and inspiration to students to use the "power of text" through scripting. So, even if you do not benefit from the scripts in this repo, I hope you get motivated and inspired to write your own to automate your work.
-
spreading the benefit, since I am sure these scripts are beneficial for their own sake.
Here, I put Emacs related files, including of course my .emacs configuration file. Currently, I do
not consider myself an expert in Emacs since I cannot customize everything fluently in LISP; you
will find many very sophisticated .emacs files over the net. However, my .emacs file can be a
good start for novices to Emacs.
These are a set of miscellaneous scripts that I created to ease using git, including creating, deleting, etc. completely from the command line without signing into the web interface Github.
This is a set of LaTeX templates, scripts, and modules that I usually use to prepare my lecture notes and other documents. They can be very helpful for anyone composing similar documents.
Contains the LaTeX template that I always use in preparing the lecture notes. If you compile the
.tex file, you will get exactly the same pdf part (chapter 1 as a sample) of the Digital Design
course.
This script is very beneficial for producing a lengthy document like the lecture notes. This script
is to save the nonsense time and effort wasted in writing \chapter{} \section{} \includegraphics ... insanely many times for each chapter, section, figure, etc. You just need to have a directory
of Graphics containing the graphics of each chapter, and a text file Sections.txt that contains
the chapter and section titles both are in the folder LectureNotesDesitenationDirectory, to which
all the latex code will be automatically generated when running the shell script. Now, run the shell
script, and it will parse the folder Graphics and the titles file Sections.txt and will generate
all the stuff for you. Of course, you can change the FrontMatterTemplate.tex and
MainTemplate.tex as you like. After generating the LaTeX code under that folder, you can compile
it to generate the pdf which contains all the chapter titles, section titles, and all the
graphics.
Some general scripts that I created to automate things, including backing up my work (both incremental or full backups), auto-downloading a series of files, etc.
