Hack Configuration

Be it known, here lies an Emacs configuration and sparse Linux setup notes, the outline for my computational castle, all written in the literate programming style via Org-Babel.

For a more thorough Emacs configuration see emacs-from-scratch.

Installation

Execute the following commands starting wherever you’d like to place this repo:

git clone https://github.com/JohnNehls/dotfiles
cd dotfiles

For the next step, there may be issues if our home directory already contains versions of configuration files we are now cloning– rename or delete these files if we’d like them replaced. Then execute:

stow --dotfiles . # make symlinks into the parent directory (here the home directory).
emacs emacs.org

then M-x org-babel-tangle to tangle the configuration to ~/.emacs.d/init.el.

Finally, before icons will display correctly in Emacs, we must run M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts.
