To install, clone this repo to ~/.emacs.d, i.e. ensure that the
init.el contained in this repo ends up at ~/.emacs.d/init.el:
git clone git@github.com:verminniu/dotfile_emacs.git ~/.emacs.d
Upon starting up Emacs for the first time, further third-party
packages will be automatically downloaded and installed. If you
encounter any errors at that stage, try restarting Emacs, and possibly
running M-x package-refresh-contents before doing so.
Add setup files in ~/.emacs.d/custom
Modify ~/.emacs.d/setup-my-conf.el to load your setup files
I just modify
init.el - to load custom setup files
setup-elpa.el - to support other mirrors
So merge purcell's dotfile will be ok
Update the config with git pull. You'll probably also want/need to update
the third-party packages regularly too:
M-x package-list-packages, then U followed by x.
You should usually restart Emacs after pulling changes or updating
packages so that they can take effect. Emacs should usually restore
your working buffers when you restart due to this configuration's use
of the desktop and session packages.
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.
