+## assignment-template-latex
+
+This repository provides a simple LaTeX template for writing your Assignments at UiT (The Arctic University of Norway). 
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This is only a template. You have to adapt the template to your current assignment!
+
+## Usage 
+
+### Build PDFs locally 
+
+Once you have installed [LaTeX](https://www.latex-project.org/) and [Inkscape](https://inkscape.org/), you can use it like this:
+
+```console
+# Creates `template.pdf` in working directory.
+make all
+```
+
+Clean temp files: 
+
+```console
+# Removes the temp files inside `build/`
+make clean
+```
+
+## Build and release a PDF automatically
+
+The project uses GitHub Actions to build the LaTeX document and create a release on GitHub automatically. To trigger a build, create a new release. The release will be tagged with the version number, and the PDF will be attached to the release.
+
+## Credits
+
+This template is using the [IEEE-Tran](https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html) `cls` file.
