  Hey, amazing idea, can you share the code?

    Makefile in other comments. You’ll need something like this on the title page (this assumes you use my Makefile which puts the version in VERSION.tex [that’s the literal name of the file, not a placeholder]):

    {\bf{\color{red}DOCUMENT REVISION:}} {\color{blue}\input{VERSION}}

    Sure thing. This also includes the beamer bit which I used for my defense. It’s all pretty hacky but hope it’s useful!

    #
    # Errors aren't handled gracefully (tex doesn't write to stderr, it seems)
    # If you encounter errors, use "make verbose"
    #
    # For small changes (probably those without references), use "make quick"
    #
    # Thanks to https://gist.github.com/Miliox/4035649 for dependency outline

      Thank you!!! I’ll see if I manage to make it work for me.

      I also had some Makefiles in other directories, e.g., for my media/ I had:

      MAKE = make -s
      RECURS = svgs/
      
      recurs: $(RECURS)
              @$(foreach DIR, $(RECURS), \
                      echo "MAKE      (CD)    $(CURDIR)/$(DIR)"; \
                      $(MAKE) -C $(DIR) $(MAKECMDGOALS);)
              @echo "MAKE     (CD)    $(CURDIR)/"
      
      all: recurs
      
      clean:
      
      allclean: recurs clean
      

      and for media/svgs/:

      SVG_FILES := $(wildcard *.svg)
      PDFDIR := ./
      PDF_FILES := $(patsubst %.svg,$(PDFDIR)/%.pdf,$(SVG_FILES))
      
      all: $(PDF_FILES)
      
      clean:
              @rm -f $(PDF_FILES)
              @echo "SH       (RM)    Tidying up derived PDFs"
      
      allclean: clean
      
      $(PDFDIR)/%.pdf: %.svg
              @inkscape -T --export-pdf=$@ $<
              @echo "INK      (PDF)   $<"
