My dotfiles are based on the minimal-emacs.d project. The changes to the source repository will sometimes be synced to this repository, with my own changes being rebased on top.

The original repository contains a lot of useful info, so do check it out.

Dotfiles setup

Author of minimal-emacs.d suggests putting (almost) everything into the post-init.el file, which I simply do not agree with. I am used to using plug-in files, with the main one only having the bare minimum of content.

As such, post-init.el file only contains the minimal setup code, and at the end loads the files in the .config.d folder, in alphanumeric order. In those plug-in files the real magic happens. All the files are heavily documented, with mostly self-explanatory names, so I think it will be redundant to list them here. See the files in config.d directory for more.

Repository setup

This section contains a bit of information on how to setup this git repository after you cloned it (in case you want to modify it, ignore otherwise).

You will need to add a new origin, usually called just 'upstream', that points to the original minimal-emacs.d repository. Then, to pull in any new updates, you will have to pull them form there with a --rebase flag. This will ensure that any modifications to the original repository will be applied on top.
