emacsq-sh

Helper script to run emacs -Q. The idea from https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm/blob/master/emacs-helm.sh

Usage

$ ./emacsq.sh -h
Usage: emacsq.sh [SCRIPT-OPTIONS] [EMACS-OPTIONS-OR-FILENAME]

Script options:

    --path, -p EMACS_BIN    Emacs executable path [default emacs]
    --user-dir, -ud DIR     Set ‘user-emacs-directory’, if not provide, choose from:
                                - ~/.emacs.d/{EMACS-VERSION}/
                                - ~/.emacs.d/{MAJOR-VERSION}.{MINOR-VERSION}/
                                - ~/.emacs.d/
                            In addtion, ‘<tmp>’ means to create a temporary directionary
                            as the ‘user-emacs-directory’ to guarantee purity.

Any other Emacs options (e.g. -nw, --eval...) or filename must come after.  For
more information execute ‘emacs --help’.
