OH EMACS SPACEMACS

VI, VIM? Emacs? Confusing. Doesn’t matter. I’m a huge fan of both environments, and a long time (20+ years) user of both. As a daily-driver I am heavily dug into both inside of Spacemacs.

Get Spacemacs here and give it a spin

git clone https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs ~/.emacs.d

Here’s a couple of things that I consider important to my config (.spacemacs)

  dotspacemacs-themes '(;spacemacs-dark
                        ;purple-haze
                        exotica
                        )
