I’ve crafted my Emacs configuration, I cheekily call /hamacs/, in 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]]. While I used both extensively, I decided I would /roll my own/ as Emacs people like myself, tend to be /control freaks/ (at least a little bit).
Using [[https://howardism.org/Technical/Emacs/literate-devops.html][literate programming]] for my Emacs configuration gives me an easy way to /share/ my code. So yes, feel free to steal whatever you find interesting, as sharing makes our community great. Notice that functions and features I have written begin with =ha-=, but everything else is either /stock Emacs/ or a /package/ I download using [[https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el][straight]] (see [[file:bootstrap.org][bootstrap]] for how for details) 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 those details)… meaning most blocks of code should work on its own.
My configuration is broken into /chapters/ around particular subjects, applications or programming languages. This allows me to /selectively load/ individual chapters. For instance, currently, I’m not doing much with Ruby, so I just remove it from the end of my [[file:bootstrap.org][bootstrap]]. I also going load my [[file:ha-display.org][UI configuration]] if I am using the Terminal (doesn’t happen much, actually). So jump to the chapters of interest.
- [[file:bootstrap.org][Bootstrap]] :: 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][Configuration]] :: contains /most/ of my configuration, setting up my sequence key menus, evil, etc.
- [[file:ha-display.org][GUI Display]] :: sets up the visual aspects of an Emacs GUI, including themes and fonts.
- [[file:ha-dashboard.org][Dashboard]] :: sets up initial window layout of the =main= project with a dashboard.
- [[file:ha-data.org][Data]] :: functions for dealing with a buffer-full of data.
** Org Mode Configuration
- [[file:ha-org.org][Initial Org Configuration]] :: configures the basics for org-mode formatted files. Specific features come from their own files.
- [[file:ha-org-word-processor.org][Word Processing]] :: attempts to make Org files /visually/ look like a word processor, including turning off the colors for headers, and instead increasing their size.
- [[file:ha-org-clipboard.org][Clipboard]] :: automatically converting HTML from a clipboard into Org-formatted content.
- [[file:ha-org-journaling.org][Journaling]] :: for writing journal entries and tasks.
- [[file:ha-org-publishing.org][Publishing]] :: code for publishing my website, [[http://howardism.org][www.howardism.org]].
- [[file:ha-org-sprint.org][Sprint Notes]] :: functions for working with the my Org-focused sprint file.
- [[file:ha-agendas.org][Agendas]] :: attempts to "supe-up" my task list.
- [[file:ha-capturing-notes.org][Capturing Notes]] :: my engineering notebook.
** Terminal Configuration
If you know me, I appreciate the light-weight nature of Eshell (see [[https://emacsconf.org/2022/talks/eshell/][this talk at EmacsConf 2022]]), but Eshell doesn’t work that well with some of my remote work.
- [[file:ha-eshell.org][Eshell]] :: customization and enhancement to the Emacs shell.
- [[file:ha-remoting.org][Remote Access]] :: my interface to systems using SSH and Vterm.
** Programming Configuration
While I’m a language polyglot, I usually focus on one or two languages at a time, and my configuration may acquire a /wee bit of cruft/. That said, I’m attempting to convert over to LSP (with varying degrees of success).
- [[file:ha-programming.org][General Programming]] :: configuration for /all/ programming languages, or at least, the simple ones.
- [[file:ha-programming-elisp.org][Emacs Lisp]] :: additions to Emacs Lisp programming.
- [[file:ha-programming-python.org][Python]] :: configuration for working with Python and LSP.
- [[file:ha-programming-scheme.org][Scheme]] :: configuration for Guile and Racket.
- [[file:ha-programming-clojure.org][Clojure]] :: configuration for Clojure.
- [[file:ha-programming-ruby.org][Ruby]] :: configuration for Ruby.
** Miscellanea
- [[file:ha-aux-apps.org][Applications]] :: optional applications, like Twitter and Telegram.
- [[file:ha-email.org][Email]] :: reading email using =notmuch= in a *Hey* fashion.
- [[file:ha-feed-reader.org][RSS Reader]] :: configuration of =elfeed= as well as my RSS feeds.
- [[file:ha-irc.org][IRC]] :: connection to IRC servers using rcirc and bitlbee.
- [[file:ha-passwords.org][Passwords]] :: code for generating passwords.
** Summary
The [[file:elisp/][elisp]] directory contains non-literate code.
Other functions and files come from essays written on [[http://www.howardism.org][my blog]]. To help with this synchronization, I created a [[file:support/final-initialize.el][support/final-initialize.el]] file, but that shouldn’t be too interesting to others.
You may ask yourself, Howard, why are you still using Github. The only reason is that Org files automatically get rendered as HTML with the code block correctly syntax highlighted. This may change. 🤓
