A LaTeX paper template that I use for papers and notes.

Note: This version is now no longer updated. Please refer to the new repository.

Uses Jacques Distler's utcaps.bst and AAS TeX's aas_macros.sty, included in this repository. Place figures in the \figures directory.

How to use this

For those, like me, are less competent with git and GitHub than we really aught to be.

  1. Go to repo's page on GitHub.

  2. Click on the green Code button just to the top-right of the list of files.

  3. Copy the URL that pops up. It should be: https://github.com/fliptanedo/flip-paper-template.git

  4. Locally (on your system) go to the parent directory of where you'd like to start a new LaTeX project and open a Terminal (command prompt) window there. Assuming you have git set up, you can simply type in git clone https://github.com/fliptanedo/flip-paper-template.git and press enter.

  5. This should create a new folder flip-paper-template. Go ahead and rename it right away. mv flip-paper-template new-folder-name.

  6. Go ahead and start your new project.

  7. If you'd like to put this new project on GitHub, just start a new GitHub repository through the web interface. Do not initialize with a README.md file. Follow the steps to push and existing repository. This should be a git remote add origin command followed by a git push -u origin master command. Except: there's one problem. Your copy of flip-paper-tempalte (now renamed) is already connected to the paper template GitHub repository. So if you follow the GitHub directions you'll get an error: fatal: remote origin already exists.. Instead, the first line should be git remote set-url origin [https://github.com/....git].

That should do it.
