Our shared repositories are managed with Git. The files associated with the thesis should be kept in the group's Git installation, as a separate repository that your advisor will create for you. The main purpose is to prevent loss of data, but it also facilitates access for fellow group members if needed, and to allow on-line publication. See also Using Git.If you haven't used Git yet, there's a few excellent introductions to be found on the internet, for example:
- The Git book
- The excellent Git tutorial, written by the guys at Atlassian
- The Git page in our KIELER Wiki: Using Git
The main tex file for a thesis should be <name of repository>.tex (see also Git/Structure for the canonical naming scheme). E.g., the bachelor thesis of user xyz can be found in a repository named xyz-bt in the Theses project of our Stash system, in a file named xyz-bt.tex. If there is a talk to "defend" the thesis (Bachelor-Kolloquium, Disputation), the talk should also be included in this repository, and should be named <name of repository>-talk.tex (e.g. xyz-bt-talk.tex). In case your thesis should be made available on-line, the same names should be used, e.g., xyz.pdf.
