This GitHub repository contains the current configuration to support the Practicalli Spacemacs book. It contains the layers recommended for use for enhanced Clojure development experience as well as numerous tweaks for general Spacemacs usage. The configuration also contains a number of snippets (code and configuration templates) for specific languages.
Requirements: Spacemacs Develop, Emacs 27 and Fira Code fonts
There are several command line tools that should be installed to support the use of the Practicalli Spacemacs configuration.
Visit GitHub and fork the practicalli/spacemacs.d repository. A fork is recommended so you can add your own customisations and save them to your own repository.
In a terminal window, use git clone to copy your fork to your computer.
git clone [email protected]:practicalli/spacemacs.d.git ~/.spacemacs.d
If you are happy to use my Spacemacs configuration as it is, then remove your ~/.spacemacs file and start Emacs.
Configuration is optomized for languages that are read left to right. Change the configuration to use
(setq-default bidi-paragraph-direction 'right-to-left)if you use right to left read languages. Comment out this configuration if you use both.
Clone this repository and review the configurations I have chosen, not everything may be to your preferred way of working.
The recommended approach is to use a diff tool, such as ediff in Emacs, SPC D f in Spacemacs, to compare my configuration with your own existing configuration.
The file .spacemacs.d/init.el is read by Spacemacs if the .spacemacs file does not exist. You can used either file as your main Spacemacs configuration file (but obviously not both at the same time). In this repository, the .spacemacs file is a symbolic link to .spacemacs/init.el.
Please join the Clojurians Slack community and ask questions in either the #practicalli or #spacemacs channels.
Thank you
