This thesis templates is based on classicthesis and slightly adjusted for cumulative thesis. So most of instructions in its manual applies here.

To work with the thesis:

1. Set your document variables in cfg.tex, e.g., \myTitle etc.
2. Here biblatex is used instead of bibtex, so you should change the citation style through the options of biblatex in cfg.tex (also the bib files \bibliography{locallib,..}).
3. ccfg.tex contains personal customization’s commands.
4. In main.tex there is additional title page (starting on line 57), that might be useful for uploading the thesis to ArXiv, otherwise, probably useless.
5. Also, TitlepageGTCformat_JRFVversion.tex that is used as the main cover, is cover format of University of Tübingen. You should feel free to use the ones that you like/need.
