This is an Emacs configuration for stubborn vimmers and silent demon annihilating protagonists alike. It strives to emulate vim as best it can, and surpass it in any way possible.

It is tailored to OSX 10.11+, Emacs 24.5.1+ and my needs as a software developer, designer, scientist and doom enthusiast.

Installation

brew install cask
brew install emacs --with-cocoa --with-imagemagick
git clone https://github.com/hlissner/.emacs.d ~/.emacs.d
cd ~/.emacs.d
make          # installs plugins via cask and generates autoloads

# Optional
make compile  # compiles core and autoloaded files
make snippets # install hlissner/emacs-snippets into private/snippets

For a more comprehensive byte compile, run :bc! (:bc will compile the current *.el file).
