Texico

Texico is created to suit my Latex workflow. It can be used to

• setup new projects,
• build existing projects and
• tag versions for release.

More functionality is planned.

Building projects requires latexmk. You can install it by running

$ tlmgr install latexmk

Then install Texico with

$ gem install texico

To setup a new project in the current directory, run

$ texico init

You will be guided through the setup process. When it completes you will be able to build the project using

$ texico

I find it useful to store my name and email address in the global config. You can either create a .texico file in your home directory and add the relevant fields, or run

$ texico config --global author='Your Name' email=name@example.com

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

The gem is available as open source under the terms of the MIT License.
