 ## Build

 The project is intended to be build by TexLive through the use of latexmk. This is why there is a custom `.latexmkrc` file specified to keep the build process clean.
 
 ## Dependencies
@@ -27,12 +28,3 @@ This project requires the following:
 - latexmk (often packaged with TexLive full-scheme)
 - python
 - pygments (python package for minted)

-## Files created during build
-The build process of latexmk will create two folders for storing temporary cache files for faster rebuilds. The primary folder being `.tmp` which will hold every created .aux file. Additionally the resulting pdf file will be located besides main.tex as well as an index file called `main.synctex.gz` used for indexing between main.tex and main.pdf (unused by VSCode, used by Overleaf).
