The script also writes an A readme.md file with a description of the role of each subfolder.\n\nI was tired of having heterogeneous subfolder structures for different research papers, so I wrote this script. I am sharing this script on GitHub because it might inspire others to follow a similar approach and because I needed to get it under version control.\n\nMy workflow involves writing the manuscript in LaTeX on Overleaf. I have additional subfolders on Overleaf. The project on Overleaf is under version control in the `ov' subfolder.\n\nI store this script in a folder called 000manuscripts in my home directory.\nI have mapped this script to an alias stored in my `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` file: \n```bash\nalias setupManuscript='cp ~/000manuscripts/setupManuscript.sh . \u0026\u0026 ./setupManuscript.sh \u0026\u0026 echo \"Now write the paper!\"'\n```\nAfter sourcing the `.zshrc` file to load the alias, I created a new manuscript folder in my home folder, moved to it, and entered `setupManuscript` in the terminal.\nI can create the manuscript folder structure I need for a research paper in a few seconds and with very little mental bandwidth.\n\n## Retrospective in 2024\n\nI found the empty subfolders in a new project folder to add clutter.\nA better approach might be to hide these subfolders by preceding their names with a period.\nWhen the folder is needed, the prepended period can be removed.\nThe revealed subfolder will have a standardized name. \nThis revised approach is found in `setupManuscript2.sh`.\n\n\n\n## Related links\n\n- [The writer's law](https://github.com/MooersLab/thewriterslaw)\n\n\n## Update history\n\n|Version      | Changes                                                                                                                                    | Date                 |\n|:-----------:|:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|:--------------------:|\n| Version 0.2 |   Added funding and update table.
