My Emacs configuration, that I'm cheekily calling /hamacs/ is a literate programming model heavily inspired by my recent journey into [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKegZI9vWUU][Henrik Lissner's]] [[https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs][Doom Emacs]] and [[https://www.spacemacs.org/][Spacemacs]]. I used both extensively, but decided that I would /roll my own/ as Emacs people tend to be /control freaks/ (at least a little bit).
The other advantage to rolling yer own is that you are more likely to /use/ what you add, leading to less bloat, and a more fun experience.
Why yes, feel free to steal whatever you find interesting, as sharing is what makes our community great. Notice that functions and features that I have written begin with =ha-=, however, everything else is either /stock Emacs/ or a /package/ that I download using [[https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el][straight]] (see [[file:bootstrap.org][bootstrap]] for how) and configured with [[https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package][use-package]] (see either [[https://ianyepan.github.io/posts/setting-up-use-package/][this introduction]] or [[https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/UsePackage][this wiki page]] for details)... meaning that most blocks of code should /just work/ on its own.
Hit me up with questions, =@howardabrams=. If you want to try this out, after installing Emacs, and cloning this repo, run:
This creates [[file:~/.emacs.d/init.el][~/.emacs.d/init.el]] that starts the process loading the files:
- [[file:bootstrap.org][bootstrap.org]] :: configures =straight= and loads basic libraries the rest of the code depends on. It then loads the following files in order:
- [[file:ha-config.org][ha-config.org]] :: contains /most/ of my configuration, setting up my sequence key menus, evil, etc.
- [[file:ha-display.org][ha-display.org]] :: sets up the visual aspects of an Emacs GUI, including themes, fonts and the dashboard.
- [[file:ha-org.org][ha-org.org]] :: configures the basics for org-mode formatted files. Specific features, however, come from their own files, however.
- [[file:ha-org-word-processor.org][ha-org-word-processor.org]] :: attempts to make Org files /visually/ look like what one might see in a word processor, including turning off the colors for headers, and instead increasing their size.
*Note:* Other functions and files come from essays written on [[http://www.howardism.org][my blog]]. To help with this, see [[file:support/final-initialize.el][support/final-initialize.el]] file.
