yet-another-emacs-init-el

This is a nice, rather small init.el for Emacs24.4 and up.

It will install a selected range of packages upon first startup. It will ask you before installing each package.

Installation

Installation is as simple as copying init.el to your ~/.emacs.d directory. I recommend however to use a symlink for easy updates:

cd
git clone https://github.com/root42/yet-another-emacs-init-el
cd ~/.emacs.d
ln -s ../yet-another-emacs-init-el/init.el .
cp ../yet-another-emacs-init-el/custom.el .

Installing to a custom place

You can also put this package at some arbitrary place and tell emacs to use the init.el at this custom place:

cd
git clone https://github.com/root42/yet-another-emacs-init-el
emacs -q --load ~/yet-another-emacs-init-el

Customizations will be saved in custom.el in the same directory.
