#+TITLE: mssola's GNU Emacs configuration #+AUTHOR: Miquel Sabaté Solà #+EMAIL: mikisabate@gmail.com #+BABEL: :cache yes #+PROPERTY: header-args :tangle ~/.emacs.d/init.el * Preface This is my attempt of getting my configuration organized with literate programming and =org-babel=. I took the workflow I'm following from [[https://github.com/larstvei][@larstvei]]. The idea is that the =init.el= file will replace itself on the first execution with the tangled version of this file. This first version will also be byte-compiled. This means that all changes are to be made on the =init.org= file *always*. The initial contents of the =init.el= are: #+BEGIN_SRC elisp :tangle no ;; We can't tangle without org! (require 'org) ;; Follow symlinks (setq vc-follow-symlinks t) ;; Open the configuration (find-file (concat user-emacs-directory "init.org")) ;; Tangle it (org-babel-tangle) ;; Load it (load-file (concat user-emacs-directory "init.el")) ;; Finally byte-compile it (byte-compile-file (concat user-emacs-directory "init.el")) #+END_SRC There is no reason to track the init.el file, and no reason to change this file. In order to ensure this, make sure to apply the following command after cloning: #+BEGIN_SRC sh :tangle no git update-index --assume-unchanged emacs/init.el #+END_SRC Moreover, in order to avoid manually tangling and compiling the =init.org= file on each change, the following function is provided: #+BEGIN_SRC elisp (defun tangle-init () "If the current buffer is 'init.org' the code-blocks are tangled, and the tangled file is compiled. Morever, an init.html is generated." (when (or (equal (buffer-file-name) (expand-file-name (concat user-emacs-directory "init.org"))) (string-suffix-p "dotfiles/.emacs.d/init.org" (buffer-file-name))) ;; Avoid running hooks when tangling (let ((prog-mode-hook nil)) (org-babel-tangle) (byte-compile-file (concat user-emacs-directory "init.el"))))) (add-hook 'after-save-hook 'tangle-init) #+END_SRC * Introduction I'm using GNU Emacs 26, but everything should be working in GNU Emacs 24.
