My Emacs Configuration

This is my Emacs configuration. It's been written and rewritten and refactored and migrated and changed and updated since the late '90s.

I keep this setup in git because I like to keep it up to date across all the computers I use — work laptop, home workstation, home laptop, development servers, etc.

A lot of this stuff is pretty specific to my personal needs, but feel free to steal ideas.

Structure

My Emacs configuration is kept in Literate Configuration style. This means that my configuration is a human-readable document that puts comments first, and embeds the actual configuration elisp as code snippets.

The main file is called [configuration.org](configuration.org), and is in org-mode format.

Files found in ~/.emacs.d/local are ignore by Git, but added to the load path.

Files found in ~/.emacs.d/lisp are checked into Git, and added to the load path.

Getting Started

The process for bootstrapping all this stuff is complicated a little bit by the fact that I use the latest org-mode as a Git submodule. The full process for getting everything running is as follows:

Clone the Repository

$ git clone git@github.com:sethm/emacs-files.git ~/.emacs.d

Update the org-mode and tera-mode submodules

$ cd ~/.emacs.d
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

Build org-mode

$ cd ~/.emacs.d/org-mode
$ make
