To simulate grain boundary properties using atomistic codes such as ``LAMMPS``[@LAMMPS], 
the atomic structure of the GBs need to be generated first. These geometrical entities have a 
large parameter space that has been well formulated within a coincident site lattice (CSL) 
mathematical framework. ``GB_code`` uses the CSL construction to generate GBs (currently for 
cubic materials) systematically and provides input atomic structures for atomistic calculations.

GBs are geometrical entities with a large parameter space that has been well formulated within a coincident site 
lattice (CSL) mathematical framework. ``GB_code`` uses the CSL construction to generate GB atomic structures

(e.g. ``LAMMPS``[@LAMMPS]). In addition to this final goal, the ``csl_generator.py`` script and the attached Jupyter 
notebooks have extra functionality to show how the CSL properties can be used to locate, classify and categorize 
different GBs and to extract detailed information about them; which causes it to be a good interactive 
toolbox to learn about grain boundaries and versatile for running high-throughput calculations. 


``GB_code`` is mainly designed to be run in Linux terminal as it is documented in detail in the README 
file of the repository but it can also be accessed via the attached Jupyter notebooks. The code consists 
of two main scripts, ``csl_generator.py`` and ``gb_generator.py``, that should be used in this order to
