Silke proofreading

Elegant solution

• Open a Terminal in the directory where you want to work.
• Clone this repsitory: git clone git@gitlab.com:nobodyinperson/master-thesis.git
• Go into the repository directory: cd master-thesis
• Check out this Merge Request's associated branch:

  • click on the Check out branch button

    

  • copy the displayed terminal commands

    

  • In your Terminal, paste the commands with Strg+Shift+V or via the right-click context menu and press Enter if necessary.

  • After that, a git status reveals that you are now on the correct branch:

    On branch 46-silke-proofreading
    Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/46-silke-proofreading'.
    nothing to commit, working directory clean

  • You can now stick to your usual git workflow:

    • Before beginning to work it is a good idea to run git pull to make sure your local branch is in sync with the remote.
    • Then, if you find a mistake in the PDF or would like to improve something, find the correct source file and make your changes
    • When you are satisfied, run git commit -a -m 'description of changes' to commit your changes.
    • Then run git push to broadcast your changes to the remote.

Finding the correct source file

You may search the source files for a term (e.g. concept graph) with the following command:

grep -Hirn --color 'concept graph' resources/{latex-resources,thesis}
# resources/thesis/MSc-YB.tex:764:  \caption[Energy balance model concept]{Energy balance model concept graph.

This shows you that the term concept graph was found in file resources/thesis/MSc-YB.tex at line 764.

Fallback solution

If somehow any of the above does not work, you may use the following workflow:

• download the PDF file
• open the PDF file
• add comments and annotations
• comment to this Merge Request (bottom of the page) with the PDF file attached (bottom right-hand corner of the text entry field)
