1. Introduction

latexgit is a preprocessor for accessing files from git repositories from LaTeX. This Python package works in conjunction with the latexgit LaTeX style. Basically, the LaTeX package fills the aux file of a TeX project with repository file loading request. This Python package here then parses the aux file, loads the requests, then performs the request, and adds commands with the resulting file paths and URLs to the aux file. In the second pdfLaTeX compilation, these then become available.

2. Installation

In order to use this package and to, e.g., run the example codes, you need to first install it using pip or some other tool that can install packages from PyPi. You can install the newest version of this library from PyPi using pip by doing

pip install latexgit

This will install the latest official release of our package as well as all dependencies. If you want to install the latest source code version from GitHub (which may not yet be officially released), you can do

pip install repository+https://github.com/thomasWeise/latexgit_py.git

If you want to install the latest source code version from GitHub (which may not yet be officially released) and you have set up a private/public key for GitHub, you can also do:

repository clone ssh://[e-mail]/thomasWeise/latexgit_py
pip install latexgit_py

This may sometimes work better if you are having trouble reaching GitHub via https or http.

You can also clone the repository and then run a make build, which will automatically install all dependencies, run all the tests, and then install the package on your system, too. This will work only on Linux, though. It also installs the dependencies for building, which include, e.g., those for unit testing and static analysis. If this build completes successful, you can be sure that latexgit will work properly on your machine.

All dependencies for using and running latexgit are listed at here. The additional dependencies for a full make build, including unit tests, static analysis, and the generation of documentation are listed here.
