* My Emacs Config
If you're new here, start in init.el.
Modules will be progressively loaded from there. There's two kinds of
ways I load things.
- From a top level *.org file
- From a tiny lisp module in the lisp/* subfolder.
Why do I do it two ways? Because in the past, I only used to do the
first way. However, it became confusing to manage dependencies, and my
org config blocks had to be in a certain order in order for my config
to work. That was stupid, so I pulled out all of the heavy dependency
related stuff into lisp modules. This made things easier, so when I
#'require a top level module, it will #'require everything else that
it needs. Goodbye dependency nightmares!
** Loading an org file
Loading an org file will look something like this:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(org-babel-load-file
(expand-file-name "config-org.org"
user-emacs-directory))
#+end_src
If you want to know what this loads, then dive in to config.org!
(Hint, it probably loads stuff related to org)
** Loading a module from lisp folder
If you see something along the lines of:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(require 'emacs-custom-load-or-ask)
#+end_src
This *could* just be just a 3rd party emacs-lisp package. However,
I've tried to stick with use-package for things I have to download
from melpa/elpa/etc., so most of the requires will be for stuff
locally on my system that I wrote. Look for something in the lisp/
subfolder that matches the name of the module, and you'll find what's
being loaded. Most likely.
** Questions?
Feel free to shoot me an email. Maybe include in the subject line
something about emacs config blah blah blah.
