All the code you need to get started, with an emphasis on dynamic languages.

My Fork of the Emacs Starter Kit

This is Mudphone's RUNA fork of the Emacs Starter Kit (by Technomancy). See README_orig.markdown for the basics. Or, checkout the original project page.

Installation

1. Clone or fork this project.

   Forking is easier, as it will automatically create a github project for you (and you'll show up in the network graph).

2. Create a .emacs.d link to this project.

   For example, if you forked and cloned the project as:

   $ cd ~/work/emacs
   $ git clone git://github.com/<your user name>/emacs-starter-kit.git
   

   If you already have a .emacs.d directory, you should rename it (unless you don't want it any more).

   Then, you can create your link like so:

   $ cd ~/.
   $ ln -s ~/work/emacs/emacs-starter-kit .emacs.d
   

3. Update ELPA Packages

   M-x package-list-packages i - next to each package you want

   • Recommended non-default packages:

     • clojure-mode
     • clojure-test-mode
     • magit
     • rinari
     • yasnippet-bundle

   • Automatically installed by the above modes:

     • slime
     • slime-repl
     • swank-clojure

   • Note: It is not required to install paredit here.

4. Refresh all submodules

   You must refresh all submodules:

   $ cd ~/.emacs.d
   $ git submodule init
   $ git submodule update
   

Feature Highlights

SUBMODULES

RSpec-Mode: vendor/rspec-mode (submodule) allows for single spec or whole file spec running

    (define-key map (kbd "\C-c s") 'run-specs)
    (define-key map (kbd "\C-c f") 'run-focused-spec)

MUDPHONE'S CUSTOMIZATIONS

1. Personal: vendor/mudpone/user.el I create a symlink to my custom configs from .emacs.d/.el

2. Personal: vendor/mudphone/user I create a symlink to my custom load dir from .emacs.d/

3. Runa: vendor/mudphone/runa.el customized RUNA keyword syntax highlighting

4. Maxframe: vendor/mudphone/maxframe.el maximizes emacs frame on start-up

5. Textmate: vendor/mudphone/textmate.el several Textmate feature emulations

      (define-key map [(meta return)] 'textmate-next-line)
      (define-key map [(control tab)] 'textmate-shift-right)
      (define-key map [(control shift tab)] 'textmate-shift-left)
      (define-key map [(control meta \;)]
                      'comment-or-uncomment-region-or-line)
      (define-key map [(meta t)] 'textmate-goto-file)
