#+DESCRIPTION: Managing and automating a fresh install of Arch linux with Emacs and Org files.
#+AUTHOR: devlinman
/Your first step to becoming a chronic Emacs user!/


* Why?

+ I find myself constantly coming back to Arch Linux. Can't get too much of it!

+ I feel safe knowing that if I have to reinstall Arch Linux, I don't need to start from scratch.

+ I have a lot of dotfiles and configs lying around.

+ But sometimes, you just need a shell script.
  For example,
  - creating systemd units and enabling them.
    =systemctl enable dropbox.service=
  - creating some default folders.
    =mkdir -p /media/DATA=
  - setting up language toolchains.
   =rustup default stable=
   =rustup component add rustfmt clippy=
  - installing some default packages.
    =pacman -S zip tar ttf-jetbrains-mono keepassxc=
    =pacman -R vi=
  - And many more...

+ There are several different ways to accomplish any of these tasks.
  There are many dotfile managers - like GNU Stow, Stor (crates.io), etc.

+ And there are several command runners - like just.

  - /(*Sigh... Maybe I need to use NixOS...)/

+ So despite all these, if one wishes to torture himself (kidding...), he may want to use GNU Emacs, Emacs-LisP and Org-mode to configure his system.

+ I have recently started using Emacs (Doom), and I figured this project would be a great way to flex my brain, and my skills.

+ I will note that the entirety of this project was programmed on Doom Emacs. So I have learnt many keybindings and many more quirks of (Doom) Emacs.

+ If nothing else, this project serves as a _proof of concept_ that one can indeed (/spend too much time on Emacs/) manage dotfiles using Emacs and Orgfiles.

  - /(But it can also be considered as a part of my dotfiles.)/



* Setup

+ I am generously assuming anyone willing to touch this repo wants to use Emacs to run this code.

+ The keybindings I have mentioned are specific for Doom Emacs. Will not work on other versions of Emacs.

+ Org package is necessary. Configure that in your =init.el= file.


* Usage

+ The scripts present in the [[./scripts][scripts]] folder are for your reference.

+ They are tailored for my system exclusively. Do not expect them to work on yours.
  /(Also ew. Dont run shell scripts from the internet.)/

+ You may wish to modify the [[./New Install.org][New Install.org]] file to generate your own shell scripts or whatever.
