Normalising sharing scrappy fiddles by sharing my WIP #emacs config based on corgi done in a literate style thx to all the help I've been getting here: https://github.com/otfrom/pembrokensis
I'm trying to use package-vc-install for a few of the things that aren't in guix or nixos repo (or even on melpa).
They are all in a single repo, but each package is a subdirectory from that. I'd like to install just a single package out of that repo rather than having all of them compile. Anyone know of a way of doing that?
I'd like to avoid straight or manual installations if possible.
@sacha I feel I ought to cite your emacs config as well, but tbh, I've always found it too intimidating to crib from. I should probably get over that.
@otfrom I don't know what's more shocking, that you've fallen into evil or that someone named an evil-mode config after my baby girl's people.
@bodil I still find evil a bit of a bloated pain. The times where it doesn't work annoy me, but pairing in tmate is worth it
@otfrom hahaha, it's pretty large if I think of it as one file. I usually think of it as an assortment of headings, many of which are little blog posts. I should probably read through the whole thing one of these days.
@sacha it is very well structured. I think I've just not taken the time to really dig into some of the cool things you do in there (some of your org-mode magic is well beyond what I understand atm).
Don't worry though, I really like having more to learn and I'm glad there is a lot more I can get out of this tool that I've been using for so long.
@otfrom that's how I feel too! There's always more to explore. What are some of the ideas you're thinking about? Me, I'm curious about that treemap visualization I recently posted on my blog, I continue to tweak my workflow for getting stuff out of my brain and into blog posts / sketches / videos, and I'm exploring context menus.
@sacha with your stuff, I think the various org mode refiling, capturing and management has always interested me and confused me.
I'd really like to have org mode help me manage what I want to remember and what I should be doing more
@otfrom hmm... One of the fun things that's not very obvious from config is how C-u org-refile lets you jump to a heading in your org-refile-targets, which makes it very worthwhile to set up your org refile targets to the set of things you typically look up or refile to. Also, I often use my code that refiles tagged items to various locations.
@otfrom also I tend to build on top of things defined elsewhere in my config in order to make something that fits my particular quirks, so I can see how that would slow down copying and pasting. :)
