This repository aims to provide a quick start for modern LaTeXing with LNCS.
The official template is available at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0. The files are also provided at Springer's FTP server at ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/.
Licensing restrictions of Springer do not allow distribution outside of springer. See message #47 for debian bug 31897 for details. Therefore, the required files llncs.cls and splncs03.bst have to be downloaded in some way. Follow the quick start instructions.

- git clone https://github.com/latextemplates/LNCS.git
- cd LNCS
- git remote rename origin github
- git checkout -b master
After that you can use and push the master branch as usual.
