This config is based on Steve Purcell's config.
Emacs itself comes with support for many programming languages. This config adds improved defaults and extended support for the following:
- Ruby / Ruby on Rails
- CSS / LESS / SASS / SCSS
- HAML / Markdown / Textile / ERB
- Clojure (with Cider and nRepl)
- Javascript / Coffeescript
- Python
- PHP
- Haskell
- Elm
- Erlang
- Common Lisp (with Slime)
In particular, there's a nice config for autocompletion with company, and flycheck is used to immediately highlight syntax errors in Ruby, Python, Javascript, Haskell and a number of other languages.
The config should run on Emacs 24.1 or greater and is designed to
degrade smoothly - see the Travis build - but note that Emacs 24 and
above is required for an increasing number of key packages, including
magit, company and flycheck, so to get full you should use the
latest Emacs version available to you.
Some Windows users might need to follow these instructions to get TLS (ie. SSL) support included in their Emacs.
To make the most of the programming language-specific support in this config, further programs will likely be required, particularly those that flycheck uses to provide on-the-fly syntax checking.
To add your own customization, use M-x customize, M-x
customize-themes etc. and/or create a file
~/.emacs.d/lisp/init-local.el which looks like this:
... your code here ...
(provide 'init-local)If you need initialisation code which executes earlier in the startup process,
you can also create an ~/.emacs.d/lisp/init-preload-local.el file.
If you plan to customize things more extensively, you should probably just fork the repo and hack away at the config to make it your own! Remember to regularly merge in changes from this repo, so that your config remains compatible with the latest package and Emacs versions.
Please note that I cannot provide support for customised versions of this configuration.
