Build and release a PDF automatically

This template contains a GitHub workflow that automatically builds the LaTeX document and creates a release on GitHub with the built PDF. For new repositories generated by this template, the workflow is enabled by default.

Using GitHub Actions is free of charge for public repositories. To learn more about pricing, please refer to this documentation on billing.

Disable automatic builds

In case you do not want this feature, you can simply remove the build-release-thesis.yml file from the .github/workflows/ folder.

Add the workflow to existing repositories

You can also use the workflow with an existing repository. Either copy the file build-release-thesis.yml from the folder .github/workflows/ within this template to the exact same location in your repository or apply a patch with these commands:
