I've found more than several tools that all basically complete this task. latexmk -pdf Foo.tex, being the most common one that I can remember.

It is somewhat annoying that it will create so many temp files. I guess. I've gotten over it pretty heavily. (I actually regret not looking at the log file more often. I feel I should know how to read most of that.)




LaTeXTools in Sublime et al. will erase the temp files with a shortcut, plus you can add more extensions to clean in case you use packages that add more temp files.


I think there is almost a rite of passage for people getting into latex to create their own build tools. :)


Try `latexmk -c` to remove all the temp files.


I can add the help of latexmk to thingsi should read more. :)
