#+STARTUP: showall
Inspired by [[Other such projects][other such projects]], here is my Emacs initialization file.
*Note:* This is not my entire Emacs initialization file. It's a
work-in-progress.
* Preparation
I could use org-babel to load this file, but I don't like my
initialization file being dependent on too many things, especially
big things, and org is a big thing. It may be strange for you to
read this, as I have placed my entire Emacs configuration in an
org-mode file, but here are the make targets I use to tangle and
subsequently byte-compile my init file:
#+BEGIN_SRC makefile
%.elc: %.el
emacs -Q -batch -eval "(byte-compile-file \"$<\")"
init.el: init.org
emacs -Q -batch -l "ob-tangle" -eval "(org-babel-tangle-file \"init.org\")
#+END_SRC
Executing the second target (either through make, or manually) will
get you my Emacs initialization file in plain Emacs Lisp.
*Note:* If you look at this file in it's org-mode form you will
notice that I actually tangle ~init.org~ into ~init2.el~. This is a
temporary measure so that I can gradually move my configuration
from my existing ~init.el~ file into ~init.org~ without much trouble.
Once I've emptied out my ~init.el~ I will instruct babel to tangle
into ~init.el~, this code already reflects that.
* The ~oni:~ prefix
To keep my functions and variables from ever accidentally
interfering with other packages or Emacs internal variables I
prefix all the functions I write and variables I declare with ~oni:~.
You don't have to copy it if you copy anything from this file, as
long as you do it consistently.
* The ~depends-on~ snippets
At certain points in this document you will find bits of code that
look like:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no
(depends-on "somepackage")
#+END_SRC
These calls are from the Cask DSL. They specify that my
configuration depends on some package found in one of the ELPA
repositories I have setup.
These snippets don't belong in your =init.el=, but instead in a
separate =Cask= file, and only if you use Cask, not if you just use
the standard ~package.el~.
* Other such projects
As stated, this project is inspired and influenced by other literate
configurations. Here is a list of some of the ones I've found:
