when making a new overleaf project:

integrate with github by creating a new repositoiry.

if you are not danaukes, it would be best to let danaukes create the repo in the idealab acct; otherwise, share your repository with github danaukes with write permissions

push to the repository before making significant edits on overleaf

push after making significant edits on overleaf

Edits

We use latex commands to edit. For example,

\usepackage{ulem} 		
\usepackage{xcolor}
\newcommand{\dma}[1]{{\color{blue}#1}}%comment by Dan
\newcommand{\dl}[1]{{\color{red}#1}}
\newcommand{\tofix}[1]{{\color{yellow}#1}}

Figures and tables

create a command for common abbreviations:

\newcommand{\sectionref}[1]{Sec.~\ref{#1}}
\newcommand{\chapterref}[1]{Ch.~\ref{#1}}
\newcommand{\figureref}[1]{Fig.~\ref{#1}}
\newcommand{\Figureref}[1]{Fig.~\ref{#1}}
\newcommand{\Equationref}[1]{(\ref{#1})}
