jimeh's .emacs.d (a.k.a. Emacs Siren)
This is my personal Emacs config, currently nicknamed Emacs Siren, and heavily inspired by [[https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude][Emacs Prelude]].
However, this is not some form of an Emacs starter kit, it's simply my personal config with any quirks, oddities, bugs, and man-eating errors I live with on a daily basis.
** Requirements
- Emacs 26.1 or later.
** Installation
- Clone the repo to =~/.emacs.d=: #+BEGIN_SRC git clone git://github.com/jimeh/.emacs.d.git ~/.emacs.d #+END_SRC
- Launch Emacs and wait a few minutes while it installs all packages.
- Enjoy ^_^
** Why not use Emacs Prelude?
Prelude is nice and all, but I don't need everything it does. I need a config that does what I need without having to potentially counter and/or work against some config framework. Hence I prefer rolling my own.
The way Prelude structures it's files and code however is very great, and something I took to heart when I started working on a rewrite of my config, and hence Emacs Siren was born.
** Why call my config Emacs Siren?
I had been playing a lot of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and decided to pick a name based on a enemy type from the game. "Siren" was short and kinda cool sounding.
