Assignmatts

This is my personal library of templates and helper functions for my various assignments, labs, and projects at university.

This has been turned into a package so that:

• I can import it from my @local namespace even from different course directories.
• So that my friends, who I'm trying to get to use Typst, can use the same theme as me. 😄

Installation

I'm not going to bother putting this on the Typst package repository (at least not until they add themes as their own thing). Unfortunately, you can't #import from a Git URL yet; to install this package, follow Typst's guide on local packages.

The easiest way to install this package is probably to clone it into your {data-dir} (again, see Typst's guide). More specifically, you can clone a specific version without any extra history by setting the --depth flag to 1 and using --branch to target a tag on this repository.

On Windows, Typst's {data-dir} is located in %LOCALAPPDATA%.

For convenience (as in, mostly for my own convenience), here's a Bash snippet that will install the latest version.

VER="$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/matthew-e-brown/assignmatts/releases/latest | jq -r '.tag_name')"
DIR="${LOCALAPPDATA}/typst/packages/local/assignmatts"
mkdir -p "$DIR" # will do nothing if already exists
git clone git@github.com:matthew-e-brown/assignmatts.git --branch "$VER" --depth 1 "$DIR/${VER/v}"
rm -rf "$DIR/${VER/v}/.git" # No need to keep it as a git repo

This requires having jq installed, of course. Just get it from winget. You can safely ignore the detached-HEAD warning from Git.
