- Each document is based on the same latex template ('sample.tex'), which includes a ''content.tex'' file.
- The content file is changing for each document.
- Each document and thus each content file is stored in a separate GIT branch.
The git repository lies within the main directory.
The shell script copies the generated PDF to a subdirectory named according to the name of the GIT branch and also renames the PDF file to the branch name.
$ ./movelatexoutput <outputfolder>
The name of the output directory <outputfolder> parameter is mandatory.
