My configuration of Emacs

How do I get set up?

• To grab (in root user directory):

  cd ~
  git clone https://github.com/mbaranchik/.emacs.d.git
  

• Install :

  $HOME/emacs.init/install.sh --dir $HOME/emacs.init
  

  # See more options:
  $HOME/emacs.init/install.sh --help
  

• Update Packages :

  git -C $HOME/emacs.init pull --rebase
  $HOME/emacs.init/update.sh --dir $HOME/emacs.init
  

  # See more options:
  $HOME/emacs.init/update.sh --help
  

Tips

• Faster startup time:

  • Recommended See https://github.com/mbaranchik/emacs_pool.py for client as standalone emacs feeling

  • Or Edit using emacsclient to avoid long loading time, e.g. in cshell:

    • tcsh, add to ~/.cshrc (or other startup file):

      alias emacs 'emacsclient -c \!*'
      setenv ALTERNATE_EDITOR ""
      setenv VISUAL 'emacsclient -c'
      setenv EDITOR 'emacsclient -t'
      

    • bash/zsh, add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

      emacs() {
          emacsclient -c $@
      }
      export ALTERNATE_EDITOR=""
      export VISUAL='emacsclient -c'
      export EDITOR='emacsclient -t'
      

• Configuration can be altered by setting environment vars, see $HOME/emacs.init/config.el:

  ;; For example
  (set-config-var 'start-server t "EMACS_START_SERVER")
  ;; To disbale automatic server init, set EMACS_START_SERVER=n
  ;; etc...
