So you need to issue a "git add" command.  Because when you git add a folder it git adds all the files and sub folders it contain its possible to create a git ignore file that will tell git what to ignore. Again files you add inside thoses folders or new subfolders after the git add command will not be added so git ignore is not needed for those. From what I see from working in UpdatedPharoByExample is that a gitignore is already made for all compiled files like html, pdf and anything else that pillar generated in the process of compilation so you dont need to gitignore those.  its also possible to "git rm" this command will remove the file or folder from your git repo but it wont delete it, the file/folder will keep being inside your git repo local folder but it wont be part of your git repo and wont be tracked.   I can't recommend GIT DOCs enough. These guys know how to write documentation and will amazed you how simple yet powerful GIT really is. you can find the docs here -> http://git-scm.com/documentation also another thing, git add and rm commands need a git commit and git push to be uploaded and committed to you online repo. Of course you can do other modifications and actions and commit all of them with one commit and push.  On Sat, May 10, 2014 at 6:51 PM, Ben Coman <b...@openinworld.com> wrote: kilon alios wrote: Yes I am using MacTex too, it works like a charm. I compile the pdf always before committing to Github to make sure I am not braking enough. I also installed Texmaker which is an even better editor for Tex files and compiling to pdf.  http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/ Though so far emacs with pillar mode and compile.sh is more than enough for my needs. Textmate also is good enough.  Thanks Kilon. Good to know. btw, I see that files are generated under that git-clone created.  Being somewhat new to git, when I push back to my fork on github, then issue a pull request to SquareBrackets, what stops the generated files being included ? cheers -ben   On Sat, May 10, 2014 at 6:21 PM, Ben Coman <b...@openinworld.com> wrote: nacho wrote > 2) Yes you have to have TEXLive installed. > 3) If you install it on Mavericks check the paths.

For me it was not a path issue.   I installed MacTex and it added /usr/texbin to my PATH. That contains 23 links to pdftext (ls -l | grep pdftex).  However pdflatex was not one of them. Fixed my problem with the following: # cd /usr/texbin # sudo ln -s pdftex pdflatex Other than that, it was quite straight forward.  So now I have forked the PharoLaserGameTutorial repo, and compiled it to a PDF, and can start working on it :) cheers -ben thanks kilon.  That is exactly what I needed to know. cheers -ben
