Configuration Framework

• Doom Emacs

Doom Emacs

Doom is a configuration framework for GNU Emacs tailored for Emacs bankruptcy veterans who want less framework in their frameworks, a modicum of stability (and reproducibility) from their package manager, and the performance of a hand rolled config (or better). It can be a foundation for your own config or a resource for Emacs enthusiasts to learn more about our favorite operating system.

Configuration

I'm using Doom Emacs for a while and i write lot of config files at that time. The config files are available at my github.
