This is my working document for my emacs configuration. What follows is notes, annotations, and context for code I’ve found, or written, to better my experience in emacs. Minimum version is emacs 29
(let ((minver "29"))
(when (version< emacs-version minver)
(error "Your Emacs is too old -- this config requires v%s or higher" minver)))Uncomment this for any debugging needs.
(setq debug-on-error t)Order matters, so we always refer to MELPA first. We also add Org, to make sure we get the most updated version of Org.

(setq use-package-always-ensure t)We always want to make sure use-package is available. We also refresh our package list from the above archives.

First we want anything done with emacs customize to go in some other file, instead of cluttering our init.el
(setq custom-file "~/.emacs.d/custom.el")
(load-file custom-file)The startup message and the bell noise are both inhibitors of concentration, so we kill them. We also can remove some unnecessary bars around the screen, ensuring we have a minimalist view
