# jimeh's .emacs.d (a.k.a. Emacs Siren)
This is my personal Emacs config, currently nicknamed Emacs Siren, and heavily
inspired by [Emacs Prelude](https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude).
However, this is not some form of an Emacs starter kit, it's simply my personal
config with any quirks, oddities, bugs, and man-eating errors I live with on a
daily basis.
## Requirements
- Emacs 26.1 or later.
## Installation
1. Clone the repo to `~/.emacs.d`:
git clone git://github.com/jimeh/.emacs.d.git ~/.emacs.d
2. Launch Emacs and wait a few minutes while it installs all packages.
3. Enjoy ^\_^
## Why not use Emacs Prelude?
Prelude is nice and all, but I don't need everything it does. I need a config
that does what I need without having to potentially counter and/or work against
some config framework. Hence I prefer rolling my own.
The way Prelude structures it's files and code however is very great, and
something I took to heart when I started working on a rewrite of my config, and
hence Emacs Siren was born.
## Why call my config Emacs Siren?
I had been playing a lot of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and decided to pick a name
based on a enemy type from the game. "Siren" was short and kinda cool sounding.
