emacs

My Emacs configuration

  • My ~/.emacs file and several directories below ~/.emacs.d/ are symbolic links to a local clone of this Git repository.
    • Windows users, note that you can create native symbolic links with the cmd command mklink, at least on NTFS filesystems and with administrator permissions. This is useful when you are running a native Windows Emacs such as emax.
  • My actual configuration files are modularised in the emacs.d/init directory.
  • The files emacs-*.el are the ~/.emacs*.el files I'm using on my various computers. They load a subset of the configuration modules in emacs.d/init.
  • They generally first set up the load path, then load the desired modules, then perform some customisations that have not yet found their way into the modules.
  • I installed most packages according to the configuration in emacs.d/init/load-path-package.el.
  • The files emacs-*.el and the directory emacs.d should actually have been named .emacs-*.el and .emacs.d, as that is the intended target name on your system. The “non-dot” names are for easier searchability with standard tools, which default to ignoring hidden files.
