maindoor/emacs.d

Almost portable emacs settings

README

This is a remake of emacs-rimero-setup for easier reuse in a non obstrusive way.

The setup is loaded via an org file, see the startup.org file in the bootstrap folder.

Rationale

emacs-rimero-setup was painful to move across machines that had some specific settings.

Application	Home	Work
Mail	gmail	Exchange
Continous Integration	None	Jenkins
Chat	NA	Jabber
Email contacts	Contacts database	LDAP via eudc
etc.	etc.	etc.

The distribution now acts just as a template that you load and customize as needed while keeping your environment specific customizations.

Just testing the setup

Replace GIT-CHECKOUT-FOLDER with the folder where you cloned the project.

emacs -q -l ~/GIT-CHECKOUT-FOLDER/init.el

The above-mentioned sample init.el is provide as an example only, for integration, see the next section.

Integration with your own customizations

Below is a simple .emacs.d/init.el startup file.

Again replace GIT-CHECKOUT-FOLDER with the folder where you cloned the project.

 ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
