Build

Requires pdflatex and bibtex (TeX Live, MiKTeX, or MacTeX).

make # build src/main.pdf
make clean # remove build artifacts

Or upload src/ and assets/ to Overleaf.

Language

Switch language by changing one line in main.tex:

\input{lang/en} % English\input{lang/sk} % Slovak

To add a new language, copy lang/en.tex, translate the \newcommand values, and \input your file.

Bibliography

Add entries to src/references.bib and cite them in text with \cite{key}:

According to the documentation \cite{postgresql-docs}, ...

The bibliography is rendered automatically at the end of the document via \printbibliography.

CI/CD

The repository includes a GitHub Actions workflow that automatically builds the PDF on every push to master. No local LaTeX installation needed — just push and download the result.

The built PDF is available as an artifact in the Actions tab of your repository:

Repository → Actions → latest run → Artifacts → assignment

This means you can edit main.tex directly on GitHub (or via Codespaces), push, and pick up the compiled PDF without ever installing LaTeX locally.

The workflow lives in .github/workflows/build.yml and uses xu-cheng/latex-action — a full TeX Live environment that handles all the pdflatex/bibtex passes automatically.

How to use

1. Open src/main.tex
2. Set your language (lang/en or lang/sk)
3. Fill in student details:

   \newcommand{\StudentName}{Name Surname}
   \newcommand{\StudyGroup}{Tuesday 11:00}
   \newcommand{\AssignmentNumber}{1}
   \newcommand{\AssignmentTitle}{Assignment Title}
   \newcommand{\AcademicYear}{2025/2026}

4. Add sections as needed:

   \section{Your Section Title}
   Your content here.

5. Add references to references.bib
6. Run make and submit the PDF
