Using latex-action

Introduction

Cheng XU developed a nice github action to build tex files called latex-action. So the idea of build your TeX files in Github was crazy for me that motivate me to create this repository with the purpose of documenting the necessary, and perhaps the non obvious, dependencies to build LaTeX examples in section of tutorials, xu's cv and a thesis template.

Setting it up

1. Add shh-rsa key in https://github.com/settings/keys following the documentation in github.

2. Create a DEPLOY_KEY variable in https://github.com/mxochicale/using-latex-action/settings/secrets. See ~/.ssh/id_rsa for the key which looks like:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
~
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

3. Create a gh-pages branch for the pdf files (see more).

git checkout -b gh-pages
git push -u origin gh-pages
