I built a LaTeX template and setup guide for using LaTeX locally in VS Code. It includes a modular project structure, preconfigured LaTeX Workshop settings, local/offline compilation and Git integration.

The goal is to provide a clean, lightweight alternative to Overleaf for students and researchers who prefer full control, privacy, and local performance. Contributions and feedback are very welcome
