Main config

This is the main entry point for my literate configuration. I’ve decided to split my configurations into seperate .org files to keep related stuff together. You can find this configuration at GitHub, and on www.faijdherbe.net.

To use this configuration add the following codeblock to your ~/.emacs.d/init.el, changing the path to this configuration file accordingly.

;; load main literate configuration file
;(setq user-init-file (or load-file-name (buffer-file-name)))
;(setq user-emacs-directory (concat (file-name-directory user-init-file) "../.emacs.d"))

(package-initialize)

(setq faijdherbe-config--config-path
      "~/Documents/git/faijdherbe.net/emacs-config/literate")

(org-babel-load-file
 (expand-file-name (concat (string-trim faijdherbe-config--config-path "/")
                           "/01-main.org")))

Alternatively, you can press C-c C-c on this codeblock to evaluate immediately.

Desktop file for testing

During debugging i’d like to use a desktop file for quick launching Emacs with our own configuration. Let’s call our app Mymacs.

The path from the configuration earlier is injected upon tangling this file (C-c C-v t).

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Mymacs
Type=Application
Comment=Emacs with my WIP Configuration
Exec=/usr/bin/emacs -Q --eval "(setq jf/dev-env t)" -l "~/Documents/git/faijdherbe.net/emacs-config/literate/init.el"
Icon=/opt/giteye/icon.xpm
Name[en_US]=Mymacs

note: It looks like GitHub and Hugo don’t support =conf-desktop=, hence the lack of syntax highlighting. I’ll need to look into this some other time.

Specific Configurations

Below we find all our configuration files. I should be able to merge the first two columns as it’s pretty much redundant info, but let’s postpone this for now.

config	filename	enabled	description
package	02-package.org	yes	setup package repository and package manager.
exwm	03-exwm.org	no	setup emacs as window-manager
theme	20-theme.org	yes	theme and ui config
navigation	30-navigation.org	yes	navigation and autocomplete
dev	40-dev.org	yes	generic development
php		no	as this is my main language, it deserves its own config file
org-mode		no	org-roam and org-agenda configuration
config	99-config.org	yes	Local config that can set some specific settings

The following script will use the table above as source to load all other configurations in order - if enabled.

(dolist (record files)
  (let* ((filename (cadr record))
         (enabled (caddr record))
         (dir (or faijdherbe-config--config-path ""))
         (path (expand-file-name (concat (string-trim dir "/")
                                         "/" filename))))
    (if (and (string= "yes" enabled)
             (file-readable-p path))
        (progn 
          (message "load: %s" filename)
          (org-babel-load-file path)))))
