Emacs Configuration

This repository contains my Emacs configuration. I thought I'd share it with the rest of the world because I'm doing a few interesting things:

  • As you can see, configuration is split among several files instead of having one giant configuration file. More on this below.

  • All files are compiled into byte code for faster loading

Configuration Organization

  • bin: Custom tools I use with Emacs.

  • lisp: Basic configuration files organized by function.

  • modes: One configuration file for each mode that I have customized. These files are loaded automatically by Emacs, as needed. See lisp/modes.el for more information. This makes a big difference for Emacs start-up time.

  • The dot.emacs.el file bootstraps all of this.

Installation
