This is my custom emacs configuration. There are many like it, but this one is mine, and it could be yours too!
It’s a bit bold to say this is really mine, because it’s just a whole bunch of cool configuration tweaks I found online.
First, you need to install emacs on your system. I use Arch Linux, so I would install it with
sudo pacman -S emacsAfter you have installed emacs, just clone this repository into your home directory (git clone https://github.com/neckoPecker/.emacs.d).
Then start up Emacs. It will automatically install the necessary packages you need (Don’t worry about the use-package errors; they’re normal).
You can directly edit the init.el file to change configurations that you don’t like. However, if you plan to pull a new change that I made, you may have to fix git differences.
Alternatively (and preferably), you can make a custom.el file in your emacs configuration folder.
You can copy the below in your custom.el file and change it however you like.
;;; custom.el

;; An example custom.el file to run along with init.el

;;; Code:
;;;; Set backup directory
(setq backup-directory-alist '(("." . "~/.emacs.d/file-backups")))
;;; custom.el ends hereMy emacs configuration is very personalized, and so it caters to what I need. In essence, the whole goal of this configuration is to improve my learning and productivity.
