Included/Ignored

.gitignore is setup so that only certain files are included. All other files will be ignored by git.

Included

.gitignore
init.el
*.org Any file ending in .org (Like this current file)
themes/*.el Only files ending in .el in the themes subdirectory
custom/*.el Only files ending in .el in the custom subdirectory

The “custom” Subdirectory

Rather than having a single, huge, monolithic init.el, much of the configuration has been broken out into individule files. They are called from init.el with a require statement:

(require 'setup-something)

This tells emacs to look for a file called setup-something.el in the load path.The setup-something.el file must end with a provide statement:

(provide 'setup-something)

The custom subidrectory must be added the load path in init.el:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/custom")
