Target users

As we are both Ruby developers this config will be most useful to programmers working with said language and environment.

Getting started

First clone this repo to a location on your system(see below for alternatives).

If you do not feel like keeping this in a separate place but want it in the same place as where you would keep your usual .emacs.d directory, then do the following in your home directory git clone https://github.com/bjoska/emacsandcheese.git .emacs.d or clone it to a separate directory by running git clone https://github.com/bjoska/emacsandcheese.git and then symlink it like this ln -snf <this directory> ~/.emacs.d/.

After this bit is done make sure you have Cask(see below for more instructions on this) installed and then enter the directory and run cask install. You should now have everything needed installed. Start emacs as you would normally and all the dependencies should be in place.

Have fun and let us know if you run into any issues!

Dependencies

This configuration utilizes Pallet and Cask to bundle the needed packages.
