Welcome to my Emacs config repo!

I managed to build my config file into an org file using org-babel that you can check in a nifty page with comments! However, Emacs still needs an .el file to load, then read all the code blocks from the org file and tangle them into another elisp file that Emacs can evaluate.

Therefore, I have to set up Emacs before reading my main configuration file.

Pre-Setup

;;; init.el --- Pre-Setup
;;; Commentary:
;;; Code:

(require 'package)
(add-to-list
 'package-archives
 '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/")
 '("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/"))
(package-initialize)

(unless (featurep 'use-package)
  (package-refresh-contents)
  (package-install 'use-package))
(eval-when-compile (require 'use-package))

First I add the main package repositories and make sure that use-package is installed, for proper package managing.

(use-package org
  :ensure t)

Followed by making sure that org is installed, otherwise I can't load my config file.

;; Main Configuration

;;(load-file "~/.emacs.d/init.el")
(org-babel-load-file (expand-file-name "emacs.org" user-emacs-directory))

;; Custom Variables

(setq custom-file "~/.emacs.d/custom.el")
(load custom-file)

;;; init.el ends here

And lastly I load the org file along with an elisp file that contains all the variables modified by Emacs.

And now, after setting up Emacs, feel free to check my simple, junky Emacs config file.
