Template for AMU thesis
=======================
The template itself is in the `{{cookiecutter.thesis_type}}-{{cookiecutter.thesis_surname}}`.
In order to generate a project from the template:
* install cookiecutter
* find a cookiecutter-applica-pypackage release applicable (usually the latest release/tag listed at <https://git.wmi.amu.edu.pl/filipg/cookiecutter-amu-thesis>), say VERSION
* run: `cookiecutter https://git.wmi.amu.edu.pl/filipg/cookiecutter-amu-thesis.git --checkout VERSION`
Interoperation with Overleaf
----------------------------
Overleaf handles git but it's very cr*ppy. It's better to upload a
package to Overleaf first:
1. Create a project locally.
2. Run `make`
3. Run `make source-pack`
4. Upload the zip file to Overleaf.
5. Copy project to some other place.
5. Clone the repo from Overleaf: `git clone https://git.overleaf.com/FUNNY-OVERLEAF-CODE PAPERID-paper`
6. Set remotes:
```
git remote add overleaf https://git.overleaf.com/FUNNY-OVERLEAF-CODE
git remote set-url origin git@git.wmi.amu.edu.pl:YOURID/YOUR-GITLAB-REPO
```
7. Set credential helper so that stupid Overleaf won't ask about
password: `git config credential.helper "cache --timeout=10000000"`
8. Unfortunately, Overleaf will discard hidden files (`.*`) when a zip
is uploaded, also file permissions will be somewhat broken (did I
tell you how much I hate Overleaf?)
9. … so you need to copy `.cookiecutter.yml` file and re-apply the template (`cookiecutter https://git.wmi.amu.edu.pl/filipg/cookiecutter-amu-thesis.git --checkout VERSION --output-dir .. --config-file .cookiecutter.yml --no-input --overwrite-if-exists`)
10. Re-commit the files (including recovered `.*` files).
11. Push the repo to Overleaf (fortunately, the `.*` will be treated
correctly when this is done by git): `git push overleaf master`
12. Push the repo to GitLab. `git push origin master`
13. Set the Overleaf git remote in `helpers/vars`
14. Now you can synchronize between GitLab repo and Overleaf manually or using `helpers/synchro.sh` script
Updating package with updated template
--------------------------------------
To keep your codebase in sync with template you need to occasionally reapply the template.
Here's how:
* find a cookiecutter-amu-thesis release/tag applicable, say VERSION
* (do *not* refer to master in your projects!)
* go to project root
* run: `cookiecutter https://git.wmi.amu.edu.pl/filipg/cookiecutter-amu-thesis.git --checkout VERSION --output-dir .. --config-file .cookiecutter.yml --no-input --overwrite-if-exists`
* check changes with git
### Releasing a new version of the template
* add an item to `CHANGELOG.md`
* in case of breaking changes (_M_ is incremented) describe clearly
what actions are to be taken in `CHANGELOG.md`
* tag master with the version
