Editing and pushing back to slatex
# edit your files
# commit, commit, commit ...
#
# Push back your change to sharelatex
git slatex push
Concurrent updates may occur between your local files (because you changed them) and the remote ones (because you collaborators changed them). So before pushing, we try to make sure the merge between the remote copy and the local ones is ok. You’ll have to resolve the conflict manually (as usual with Git) and attempt a new push.
Create a remote project from a local git
git slatex new <base_server_URL> <new_project_name>
