Personal Emacs Configuration
Written in Org mode.
This will always be work in progress.
How to setup
Git clone this repo wherever you want, and just insert the following at the top of your init file
(load-file "~/emacs-config/bootstrap.el")where the path to bootstrap.el is adjusted to wherever you cloned this repo. This will also automatically pull the latest version of the config on startup, unless you forbid it with
(setq config-no-auto-update t)For Windows Users
I tried to make this config also work on Windows. Obviously it won't be as good. You will need to do some extra things:
How to use
Most of the useful key bindings linked to this config are recorded in a cheat sheet that you can summon via
M-x cheatsheet-showEssential Packages
- Helm. After a full year of playing with both, finally chose Helm over Ido.
- Company. For code completion.
- Whole-line-or-region. Underrated IMO.
- Magit. Best git client for Emacs out there.
- Flycheck. Checks syntax everywhere.
- use-package. Amazing for a clean config file.
- Projectile. For all the projects.
- Multiple-cursors. Also underrated.
