Sync Overleaf projects using Emacs

My hack to sync Overleaf projects stopped working after upgrading Emacs to 27.2. The previous hack was also a bit risky as it could push changes for another project I visit.

How to fix when Emacs in OS X displays decomposed Korean characters

I ran into this problem recently while I was using Emacs to find a file with Korean characters in filename. OS X’s filesystem uses UTF-8 NFD (normalized form D), which Emacs doesn’t support by default.

How to sync between Overleaf projects and Emacs

My collaborators and I have a few shared projects in Overleaf. It provides a few options to sync local and remote changes in project files. At this moment, using git to sync files is the only “free” option, but it requires users to manually sync files.
