emacs.taps

Git-able customizations for the Exordium emacs system.

When setting up on a new machine

• Clone Exordium.

git clone https://github.com/emacs-exordium/exordium.git ~/.emacs.d

• Start emacs. Let it initialize the packages in Exordium, and do all the asyc native compilation stuff. Bring up the *Async-native-compile-log* buffer and wait until it is done scrolling by. Then exit emacs and continue.

• Clone this repo to establish your customizations; WARNING: Do not execute this step before starting emacs once.

cd ~/.emacs.d
mkdir -p taps/$USER
cd taps/$USER
git clone git@github.com:matthewpersico/emacs.taps .
cd ~/.emacs.d
rm -f emacs-custom.el
ln -s taps/$USER/emacs-custom.el .

• If you are using this code in multiple file systems, you should probably branch so that you can submit changes without messing up all your other instances. I use the hostname as the branch name; it's usually unique enough.

cd ~/.emacs.d/taps/$USER
newbranch=$(hostname)
git checkout -b $newbranch
git push --set-upstream origin $newbranch
