.emacs.d

This directory tree contains my config files and packages for Emacs.

A brief rundown:

/

• init.el
  • Should need no introduction.
• early-init.el
  • Introduced in 27.1. Speeds up init times.
• custom.el (optional)
  • Used by Emacs customize.
• user-init.el (optional)
  • This is used to tweak per machine settings such as email address and laptop-mode.

lisp/

Lisp code. 'Nuff said.

rc/

I use Didier Verna's el-rcfiles package. This not only speeds up init times, but groups the configuration variables nicely.

src/

Non-lisp files associated with Emacs in some way

sys/

This is my attempt at dealing with different OSes and Emacs versions. See the README.md in the sys directory for details.

• compat-<emacs major version>.el
• <system-type>.el

Just the code

If you are not me, and you probably are not, you might want the lisp code but not all of the configuration. So I have a compromise. If you checkout dot-emacs to another directory, say ~/dot-emacs, you can use sam-lisp-init to initialize the lisp without the configuration. Just add something like the following to your init.el:

(load "~/dot-emacs/lisp/sam-lisp-init")
(sam-lisp-init)

It can also byte-compile the lisp code. Just type:

C-u M-x sam-lisp-init

or run:

(sam-lisp-init t)

You can contact me at seanm at seanm.ca.
