  • doomemacs

    An Emacs framework for the stubborn martian hacker

  • Ever since I've started my Emacs journey it seemed like the wholy grail to have your own (vanilla!) configuration without any hard dependencies on frameworks like Doom or Spacemacs. There are plenty of dotemacs configurations ouf there which can serve as a great source of inspiration.

  • dotfiles

    Dotfiles management using chezmoi (by dorneanu)

  • Your configuration should have a basic structure. You can either use a single file for the whole configuration or multiple ones. I prefer multiple ones because you can tangle each one individually and thus make the whole process faster. This is what I have inside my Emacs folder in my dotfiles:

  • dotemacs

    Collection of Emacs configurations (by dorneanu)

  • Sometimes I don't know exactly how to configure a package or which options I should be using. Instead of searching the web for the examples last year I came up with an idea: I started collecting interesting/useful dotfiles~/~dotemacs collections in a single place. You can find the repository at github.com/dorneanu/dotemacs. So what I usually do is to search inside the folder where I've cloned all repositories for specific keywords. For this purpose I use rg.el and some custom function:

  • rg.el

    Emacs search tool based on ripgrep
