# FYP-Project-Template | |
A Template for a student Final Year Project in Markdown | |
Documentation can be found [Here](https://github.coventry.ac.uk/aa9863/FYP-Project-Template/wiki) | |
# Installation | |
## Requirements | |
- Pandoc | |
- Latex / PDFLatex | |
- A Text Editor of your choice (Emacs / Notepad++) | |
## Cloning this project | |
The project makes use of git submodule functionality. Which means we need to clone the project in a slightly different way. | |
This is as simple as cloning with the ```--recurse-submodules``` flag | |
Command for this is: | |
~~~ | |
git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.coventry.ac.uk:aa9863/FYP-Project-Template.git | |
~~~ | |
## What to do if you did a standard Clone | |
If we do a standard clone, then the Template directory exists but is empty. | |
~~~ | |
git clone git@github.coventry.ac.uk:aa9863/FYP-Project-Template.git | |
git submodule init | |
git submodule update | |
~~~ | |
## Doing this in a GUI. | |

## Updating the Template Project | |
You shouldn't need to do this, but If i make changes to the base Template you can update the submodule | |
~~~ | |
git submodule update --remote | |
~~~ | |
## Why Submodules | |
This should mean the code is cleaner for your own repository. | |
Basically, all the template cruft will be sepereate (think of it as a library). |
