This is a Clojure-friendly emacs config

If you're new to emacs, check out this introductory tutorial!

Installing

1. Close Emacs.
2. Delete ~/.emacs or ~/.emacs.d if they exist. (Windows users, your emacs files will probably live in C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\. So, for example, you would delete C:\Users\jason\AppData\Roaming\.emacs.d.) This is where Emacs looks for configuration files, and deleting these files and directories will ensure that you start with a clean slate.
3. Clone this repository git clone git@github.com:hkopp/emacs-for-clojure.git .emacs.d

Then open Emacs.

Upgrading

Before upgrading, ensure that your .emacs.d directory is under version control so that you can always revert to a known good state.

To upgrade:

1. Edit .emacs.d/init.el, adding these lines after line 12:

   (add-to-list 'package-archives
                '("melpa-stable" . "http://stable.melpa.org/packages/") t)
   
   (add-to-list 'package-pinned-packages '(cider . "melpa-stable") t)

2. Close Emacs.

3. Run rm -Rf .emacs.d/elpa/cider-*

4. Open Emacs. You'll probably see some errors and your theme won't load. That's ok.

5. In Emacs, run M-x package-refresh-contents.

6. In Emacs, run M-x package-install cider.

7. Close and re-open Emacs.

That should install the latest version. Enjoy!

Organization

I've tried to separate everything logically and document the purpose of every line. init.el acts as a kind of table of contents.
