Emacs Configuration

This is my emacs configuration which I use both on my work laptop (running OS X) as well as personal laptop (running Ubuntu).

Installing Emacs

For emacs installation and system-wide dependencies, refer to Setup.org.

Organization of code & config

• ~/.emacs.d/init.el file just loads the init.el file inside this repo and does nothing else. So no symlinking and such other things. I am managing ~/.emacs.d/init.el and ~/.emacs.d/early-init.el as dotfiles using stow. You can find them in my dotfiles repo on github.

• Customize is set to write to a separate custom.el file and not init.el itself.

• The new method for package management is via use-package.

• Single file 3rd party modes that are not found in popular and reliable package repositories are added to lib dir.

• Functions and modes written by me are added to naiquevin dir. (Note: sphinx-doc.el file in this dir is a symlink since it's convenient for me to actively work on it as the author of that mode. If you get an error related to this, just install it separately from MELPA).

• All files inside the config directory contain language/mode wise configuration and are loaded by load-dirs.el using the after-init-hook

• Themes are added to themes.

• The repo also provides some scripts which can be found under bin directory. These may have to be copied to relevant locations. Refer to the Setup.org file for instructions.

• The naiquevin dir contains utils and snippets written by me.

• The priv dir is empty but is meant for adding any files that we don't want to track in git. For eg. snippets relevant to my employer that I use at work.

• The vendor dir can be ignored. It was used in the past for cloning other repos as submodules. It's not being used any more.
