It is a story as old as time. A stubborn, shell-dwelling, and melodramatic
vimmer -- envious of the features of modern text editors -- spirals into despair
before finally succumbing to the [dark side][evil-mode]. This is his config.
Doom strives to be fast, fabulous and hacker friendly. It is tailored for
neckbeards with blue belts or better in command-line-fu, Elisp and git.
> Doom **only** supports Emacs >= 25.1, and is tested on Arch Linux 4.7+ and
> MacOS 10.11. YMMV on other platforms.

## Quick start
```bash
git clone https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs ~/.emacs.d
cd ~/.emacs.d
make quickstart
```
Don't forget to run `make` each time you modify init.el or update Doom!
Visit the wiki for [a more detailed guide on installing, customizing and
grokking Doom][wiki].
## Feature highlights
+ A fast, organized and opinionated Emacs configuration with a command line
interface.
+ A custom, declarative [package management system][doom-packages] that combines
package.el, [use-package] and [quelpa], allowing you to manage packages from
the command line and install packages from sources other than ELPA.
+ A [popup management system][doom-popups] (powered by [shackle]) that minimizes
the presence and footprint of temporary and/or disposable buffers.
+ A vim-like experience with [evil-mode], including ports for several vim
plugins, C-x omnicompletion and a slew of [custom ex
commands][doom-my-commands].
+ Integration with [editorconfig]. Let someone else argue about tabs and spaces.
(spaces, duh).
+ Code completion for many languages, powered by [company-mode] (some languages
may have external dependencies).
+ Project-awareness powered by [projectile], with tools and an API to navigate
and manage projects and their files.
+ Fast project search (and replace) utilities, powered by [the_silver_searcher],
[ripgrep] and [wgrep], with integration for [ivy] (the default), [helm] and
ido.
+ Isolated and persistent workspaces powered by [persp-mode]. Also substitutes
for vim tabs.
+ Inline/live code evaluation (using [quickrun]), including REPLs for a variety
of languages.
## Troubleshooting
Found a problem? Here are some things to try:
+ Run `make install` to ensure all plugins are installed.
+ `void-function` or `void-variable` errors could signal an out-of-date
autoloads file. Run `make autoloads` or `M-x doom//reload-autoloads` to update
it.
+ Scan for common OS/environment issues with `make doctor`.
+ **Never debug byte-compiled code. It will interfere in subtle ways.** Clean up
\*.elc files with `make clean` or `M-x doom//clean-byte-compiled-files`.
+ Check [the FAQ][wiki-troubleshooting] to see if your issue is mentioned.
+ Check the relevant module's README.org, if one exists. There may be extra
steps to getting certain features to work.
If all else has failed, [file a bug report][doom-new-issue].
## Contribute
Doom (and my Emacs work in general) is a labor of love and incurable madness,
done on my spare time. It wasn't intended for public use, but I enjoy making
Doom a resource for others.
If you'd like to support my efforts, I welcome contributions of any kind:
+ I love pull requests and bug reports. Elisp pointers are especially welcome.
Seriously, don't hesitate to [tell me my Elisp-fu sucks][doom-new-issue]!
+ Talk to me about Emacs workflow, ideas or tooling. Or talk to me about
gamedev, or pixel art, or anime, or programming, or the weather, or band camp.
Whatever. I don't mind. Holler at henrik@lissner.net.
