Emacs

Screenshot

My personal Emacs configuration with contribution from friends.

Hopefully others might find this helpful. I don't believe in "starter-packs" such as oh-my-zsh, prelude or Spacemacs. I feel like the "one size fits all" approach leads to bloat and means that users are not familiar with either the tool or the options the package configured for them.

I mostly assembled bits and pieces over time as the need grew, but some sources served as inspiration and deserve explicit credit:

Notes:

  • Emacs 26.1 is required, older version will not work.
  • For spell checking to work an ispell compatible program and dictionary need to be installed, e.g. aspell-en.
  • By default cmark is used to markdown export/preview so it needs to be installed.

Personal customizations

Users wishing to customize their configurations can use these files in ~/.emacs.site.d:

  1. init.el - loaded before any code is run but after use-package is available
  2. config.el - loaded after configuration has finished

For example if one would like to change the theme and font they could do so by placing the following in ~/.emacs.site.d/init.el:

(setq my/theme 'doom-solarized-light
      my/font-family "Consolas")

This directory can also be a git repository. For an example see https://github.com/drrlvn/.emacs.site.d.
