A few years ago, a co-worker adviced to get started with vanilla Emacs. It made a lot of sense because I was writing Clojure. Emacs has now become my goto editor. I now understand the phrase, "Emacs has taken over my life".

This repo is my version of Emacs:
It's mostly stable but a work in progress
It'll probably always be like that
Is very opinionated
Is particularly suited to Clojure development
Introduces minimal custom shortcuts
Is on the evil-side due to objective reasons
Key Features
** Project management using Projectile Any directory with a ~.git~ folder is considered as a project. To open a project, just open a file in that directory using ~Cx Cf~. The project will then be cached and accessible via ~Cc Cp~.

** Sidebar using Neotree Sidebar is bound to ~f8~ key. It is useful while trying to understand the structure of a new project.

** Focus mode using darkroom Bound to ~f1~, focus mode helps with distraction free writing.

** Search using Swiper Swiper is gem bound to ~Cs~. It makes the native search functionality 10x more awesome.

Documentation
Using this repo In my early days, Github helped me learn from various public configurations. This config is designed to be barely vanilla. It's best consumed by readin the source code and taking parts that interest you, or by reading my notes about how I use it.
