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.��

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 ?

no only the pier files are under git.
you should not add the others.
in essence you should

git add .pier
git add figures/pdf if you change a pdf

I noticed that many of the figures are pdf, so I am really curious why this was done and not left as a JPG or PNG?�� It may not matter for a book but it seems awkward if a html version is needed at some point. Also I added a .gitignore since `git status` showed way too much irrelevant info to be useful - and the PDF-figures prevent *.pdf being a filter (but *.pier.pdf is an effective alternative for our purpose).

and
git commit
git pull
git push

Thank for that.�� Its good to have a quickstart. I'll read up on them now to learn more.
