Emacs "execute" command #15

Closed kaitlingaerlan closed 4 years ago

kaitlingaerlan commented 4 years ago

To install a package using "use-package" in the emacs init file, what command is used to "execute" the code that installs the package?

Hey Kaitlin, I'm trying to figure this out as well but can't see to find the execute command for that magit package block of code, I tried using this but not sure if it worked: https://jwiegley.github.io/use-package/installation/#post-installation-tasks

Hey @kegsss in the video about installing elpy, he mentions that you can execute while in the init.el file by using C-x C-e It worked for me this way!

Thanks Kaitlin! That seemed to work, did you end up figuring out how to use it? I downloaded a zip of the repo here but I don't think magit will work like that, when I type C-c m when on the assessment line as in his video I can't seem to get the same information appear. Did you end up figuring out how to use this?

No not yet, but I feel like we'll eventually learn how to use it once we get to the lessons about git and version control.
