Introduction

I was a vimer before, I used the best editor in this planet. One day, a guy told me that there is also an awesome editor here, which is better than Vim/Vi (IMO, In some way, I don’t want to start a holy war). What always convinced me is that Vim is the best, but action is loader than words. I could only defeat this guy that Vim is best after I try Emacs. Finally, I try Emacs for half of a year and I turn to be an Emacser :)

Install

Before install this .emacs.d, make sure you have backup your configuration.

git clone https://github.com/samrayleung/emacs.d.git ~/.emacs.d

And then run dependency.sh to install dependencies

bash dependency.sh

Features

Evil

Even though I am an Emacser now, I have to admit that the way Vim edit file is the most efficent way, so there is no need to give it up. By the way, it is said that Emacs is “a great operating system, lacking only a decent ediotr”, now I have Evil, I have them both.

Ivy

I choose Ivy instead of Helm, becuase Ivy is simple, clear(compare with Helm) but powerful enough to suit all my need. If you are interested in Ivy as I do, you could check this post From Helm, To Ivy

Company

As for the completion framework, my choice is company-mode. Althoug auto-complete has better document, but company is easier to setup and less brittle
