Getting Basic Templates
First step is to download the basic templates from the git repository:
git clone git://projects.mako.cc/beamer-mako
The path of least resistance will be to clone the repository so that is located as a subdirectory of ~/tex/
.
Next, copy or create symlinks so that the following three files are in your path (e.g., in ~/bin/
:
new_beamer_presentation
vc-git
vc-git.awk
Once you have done this, you can use the script to create new presentations like:
new_beamer presentation foo-20150920
This will create a new subdirectory called foo-20150920
with a file called foo-20150920.tex
inside.
Modify/Customize Templates
At the very least, you will need to modify the lines that start with \title
, \author
, and \institute
. Please don't push back changes or patches that include modifications to these lines.
