caiorss/Emacs-Bootstrap

Emacs wrapper to keep multiple emacs sites, ~/emacs.d and ~/emacs.d/init.el.

EMACS Bootstrap

Emacs bootstrap is a template and a wrapper to create multiple Emacs settings, it means multiples ~/emacs.d directories without change the original ~/.emacs.d. It allows the user to keep multiple versions of ~/emacs.d and create reproducible Emacs environments and test new installations quickly, it works like python virtualenv.

Usage:

Once it is setup you can use the commands:

Edit init.el file:

M-x open-init-file

Open the installation directory:

M-x open-root-dir

Unix

Automatic Installation

Enter the Installation directory, the new ~/.init.d directory:

$ cd ~/custom-emacs-site

Manual Installation

Enter the installation directory

$ cd ~/custom-emacs-site

and run;

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/caiorss/Emacs-Bootstrap/master/bootstrap.sh
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/caiorss/Emacs-Bootstrap/master/init.el
chmod +x bootstrap.sh

then execute the command bellow to run Emacs using ~/custom-emacs-site as the new ~/init.d

~/custom-emacs-site/bootstrap.sh
