Other packages used

I include these files in this repository.

• Jacques Distler's utcaps.bst
• AAS TeX's aas_macros.sty
• Leo Stein's orcidlink.sty

Usage Notes

• Place figures in the \figures directory.

How to use this

1. Go to repo's page on GitHub.

2. Click on the green Use this template button and select Create a new repository. This is a nice feature of template repositories: you can create new repositories that are not connected to the template. This is in contrast to forking a repository, which has the implication of later suggesting that your edits should be merged back into the main branch.

3. Follow the directions to create a new repository. Suppose you call it NEW-REPO-NAME. You may want to make it private if you're writing some top secret paper. Once you have created a new repository, click on the green Code button and copy the GitHub CLI code. It should look something like

   gh repo clone fliptanedo/NEW-REPO-NAME
   

4. Navigate a terminal window to the folder in which you would like to clone the NEW-REPO-NAME GitHub repository, Paste the above gh code and execute it. This assumes that you have the GitHub CLI installed.

5. Your new paper and local git repository is all set to go.

How to use this (old)

For those, like me, are less competent with git and GitHub than we really aught to be.

1. Go to repo's page on GitHub.

2. Click on the green Code button just to the top-right of the list of files.

3. Copy the GitHub Command Line Interface (CLI) code:

   gh repo clone fliptanedo/paper-template-2022
   

4. Locally (on your system) go to the parent directory of where you'd like to start a new LaTeX project and open a Terminal (command prompt) window there. Assuming you have git set up, you can simply type in

   gh repo clone fliptanedo/paper-template-2022
   

5. and press enter.

6. This should create a new folder paper-template-2022. Go ahead and rename it right away:

   mv paper-template-2022 new-folder-name
   

7. Go ahead and start your new project.
