Immutable GNU Emacs dotfiles. Built for Life, Liberty, and the Open Road.
+ 100% Literate
+ 100% Immutable
+ 100% Reproducible

Heavily inspired by [[https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs][Doom Emacs]] and [[https://youtube.com/c/SystemCrafters][System Crafters]].

* Init
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args: :tangle init.el
:END:

Although later versions of Emacs introduce =early-init.el=, it's not used in this configuration for two reasons:

+ It's not required due to the modularity
+ Maintaining support for older versions

Assuming you have completed all of the following tasks prior to proceeding further:

1. Imported the =secrets=
2. Initialized the =passwords=
3. Defined the =host= file
4. Created all required symbolic links

Launch emacs: ~emacs -mm --debug-init~
   
** Options

Here's a complete list of all of the options configurable for each host, and their default values. If a host configuration does not exist, these values will be used in place.

Configure the system font with a single ~font-family~ and define the size, of which variations to the font size are relative to this value.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar dotfiles/font
  "Fira Code"
  "Unified system font family, used on all font faces.")
#+end_src

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar dotfiles/font-size
  96
  "Unified font size, of which all variations are relative to.")
#+end_src

Used by the desktop module to find the appropriate browser.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar dotfiles/browser
  (getenv "BROWSER")
  "The default browser used by the system.")
#+end_src

All of the available modules are defined in the ~dotfiles/modules-available~ constant.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defconst dotfiles/modules-available
  '(core editor desktop writing projects interface)
  "All of the available modules for hosts to load.")
#+end_src

Add the modules you want to initialize to the ~dotfiles/modules~ variable.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar dotfiles/modules
  dotfiles/modules-available
  "Enabled modules, modify this in your host configuration.")
#+end_src

Specify the emacs home, and the cache directory.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar dotfiles/home
  user-emacs-directory
  "Original value of `user-emacs-directory'.")
#+end_src

Used to seperate the immutable configuration from the stateful package files.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar dotfiles/cache
  (expand-file-name "~/.cache/emacs")
  "Where `user-emacs-directory' will be redirected.")
#+end_src

Functionality like =completion= and =hints= can be delayed to avoid popups for common manuevers.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar dotfiles/idle
  0.0
  "Length of time to wait before offering completions.")
#+end_src

Required for the all powerful leader key.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar dotfiles/leader-key
  "SPC"
  "Custom leader key for custom actions.")
#+end_src

The desktop module requires the global leader key to be set.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar dotfiles/leader-key-global
  (concat "C-" dotfiles/leader-key)
  "Global leader key available everywhere.")
#+end_src

Define where the source repositories are stored, for integration with the *Projects* module.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar dotfiles/projects
  (expand-file-name "~/.local/source/")
  "Location where source code projects are stored.")
#+end_src

Where the password store is located.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar dotfiles/passwords
  (expand-file-name "~/.password-store/")
  "Directory containing the password store.")
#+end_src

** Startup

The host configuration is loaded (if it exist) using the systems name.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; Load the host configuration.
(let ((host-file (concat dotfiles/home "/hosts/" system-name ".el")))
  (when (file-exists-p host-file)
    (load-file host-file)))
#+end_src

Load all of the enabled modules:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; Load the enabled modules.
(dolist (m dotfiles/modules)
  (let ((mod-file (concat dotfiles/home "/modules/" (symbol-name m) ".el")))
    (when (file-exists-p mod-file)
      (load-file mod-file))))
#+end_src

* Hosts

Each host system that runs Emacs has a file defined in the =hosts/= sub directory, following the pattern of ~$HOSTNAME.el~. All of the configurations are defined within this file, the values of which are read from by the other modules during startup and installation. This does *not* cover hosts that are controlled via =TRAMP=, as that will be covered in another section.

** Acernitro
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args: :tangle hosts/acernitro.el
:END:

Configure the browser.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq dotfiles/browser "flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox")
#+end_src

This machine has a screen with a very high =DPI=, requiring modification to ~dotfiles/font-size~.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq dotfiles/font-size 132)
#+end_src

** Virtualbox
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args: :tangle hosts/virtualbox.el
:END:

The first configuration, which was built using the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS server edition. I decided to incorporate =flatpaks= into this build.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq dotfiles/browser "flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox")
#+end_src

* Modules

Breaking down the project into logical units or chapters to keep the code more maintainable and organized. This is also a fundemental requirement to achieve the goal of modularity. Incorporating just the =core= module on a build server to build literate programming projects is just one example of what can be achieved.

** Core
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args: :tangle modules/core.el :results silent
:END:

Minimal configuration to make Emacs usable for my own personal workflow. This does very little in the ways of improving the visuals, only removing what is included by default and not required. More information about my technique can be seen in my post [[file:docs/posts/immutable-emacs.org.gpg][Immutable Emacs]].

*** Startup

Emacs creates a lot of files relative to ~user-emacs-directory~, these files are not part of this immutable configuration and do not belong in the emacs directory. How can we solve this issue? Shortly after initialization, before most packages are loaded, we change the value to ~dotfiles/cache~. I elaborate more on the technique in my post [[https://chrishayward.xyz/posts/immutable-emacs/][Immutable Emacs]].

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq user-emacs-directory dotfiles/cache)
#+end_src

Because this project uses version-control, we can disable more unwanted features:
+ Lock files
+ Backup files

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq create-lockfiles nil
      make-backup-files nil)
#+end_src

*** Packages

Download and install packages using [[https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el][straight.el]], a functional package manager that integrates with =use-package=, giving us more control over where packages are sourced from.

+ Use the development branch
+ Integrate with ~use-package~
  
Apply the configurations prior to bootstrapping the package manager, by setting (writing) to the variables that =straight= will ultimately read from.
  
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq straight-repository-branch "develop"
      straight-use-package-by-default t)
#+end_src

Bootstrap the package manager, downloading, installing, or configuring depending on the state of the configuration. All packages are downloaded and built from source, and can be pinned to specific git commit hashes.
  
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar bootstrap-version)
(let ((bootstrap-file
       (expand-file-name "straight/repos/straight.el/bootstrap.el" user-emacs-directory))
      (bootstrap-version 5))
  (unless (file-exists-p bootstrap-file)
    (with-current-buffer
        (url-retrieve-synchronously
         "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raxod502/straight.el/develop/install.el"
         'silent 'inhibit-cookies)
      (goto-char (point-max))
      (eval-print-last-sexp)))
  (load bootstrap-file nil 'nomessage))
#+end_src

Complete the integration with ~use-package~ by installing it with =straight=.
  
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(straight-use-package 'use-package)
#+end_src

*** Cleanup

Despite having our *stateful* and *immutable* configurations seperate, it's good practice to make efforts to reduce the trash created by Emacs.

Install [[https://github.com/emacscollective/no-littering][no-littering]] to reduce the files created by Emacs.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package no-littering)
#+end_src

Emacs' default user interface is horrendous, but with less than 10 lines of code we can change that.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq inhibit-startup-message t)
(global-prettify-symbols-mode)

(scroll-bar-mode -1)
(menu-bar-mode -1)
(tool-bar-mode -1)
(tooltip-mode -1)
#+end_src

*** Babel

*Organize your plain life in plain text*

[[https://orgmode.org][Org-mode]] is one of the hallmark features of Emacs, and provides the basis for my Literate Programming platform. It's essentially a markdown language with rich features for project management, scheduling, development, and writing. It's hard to convey everything within its capabilities.

+ [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/index.html][Babel languages]]
+ [[https://orgmode.org/manual/Structure-Templates.html][Structure templates]]

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package org
  :hook (org-mode . (lambda ()
          (org-indent-mode)
          (visual-line-mode 1)
          (variable-pitch-mode 1)))
  :custom (org-ellipsis " ▾")
          (org-log-done 'time)
          (org-log-into-drawer t)
          (org-image-actual-width nil)
          (org-directory dotfiles/home)
          (org-src-preserve-indentation t)
          (org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO" "START" "WAIT" "DONE")))
  :config (require 'org-tempo)
          (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist '("s" . "src"))
          (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist '("q" . "quote"))
          (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist '("e" . "example"))
          (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist '("sh" . "src shell"))
          (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist '("el" . "src emacs-lisp"))
          (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((shell . t)
                                                                   (emacs-lisp . t))))
#+end_src

Build all of the =org= files within a given directory.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun dotfiles/tangle (dir)
  "Recursively tangle the Org files within a directory."
  (interactive)
  (let ((org-files (directory-files-recursively dir "org")))
    (dolist (f org-files)
      (org-babel-tangle-file f))))
#+end_src

** Editor
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args: :tangle modules/editor.el :results silent
:END:

This section contains configuration for improving the editor experience within Emacs.

*** Keys

Make the =ESC= key quit (most) prompts, instead of the default =C-g=.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(global-set-key (kbd "<escape>") 'keyboard-escape-quit)
#+end_src

Download [[https://github.com/justbur/emacs-which-key][which-key]], a package that displays the current incomplete keybinding input in a mini-buffer, showing available completion options.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package which-key
  :diminish which-key-mode
  :custom (which-key-idle-delay dotfiles/idle)
  :config (which-key-mode))
#+end_src

After a few hour with =vim= I knew it was game over, I cannot even think of another way I would feel comfortable editing text. Luckily, there exist packages to emulate this within Emacs. [[https://evil.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html][evil-mode]] is the extensible VI layer for Emacs.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package evil
  :custom (evil-want-integration t)  ;; Required for `evil-collection'.
          (evil-want-keybinding nil) ;; Same as above
  :config (evil-mode 1))
#+end_src

Unfortunately the default keybindings are *lacking*, but there is a community curated package [[https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection][evil-collection]], which does a much better job implementing keybindings you would expect to find.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package evil-collection
  :after evil
  :config (evil-collection-init))
#+end_src

Surround text with functions, quotations, and any other symbols using the [[https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-surround][evil-surround]] package.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package evil-surround
  :after evil
  :config (global-evil-surround-mode 1))
#+end_src

https://github.com/redguardtoo/evil-nerd-commenter
+ Toggle comments with =M-;=

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package evil-nerd-commenter
  :after evil
  :bind ("M-;" . evilnc-comment-or-uncomment-lines))
#+end_src

Implement the *leader* key using [[https://github.com/noctuid/general.el][general.el]], letting us easily configure prefixed keybindings in a much cleaner manner than the default methods.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package general
  :after evil
  :config
  (general-create-definer dotfiles/leader
    :states '(normal motion)
    :keymaps 'override
    :prefix dotfiles/leader-key
    :global-prefix dotfiles/leader-key-global))
#+end_src 

Use [[https://github.com/abo-abo/hydra][hydra]] for transient keybindings sharing a common prefix.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package hydra
  :defer t)
#+end_src

*** Help

Run helper functions with =SPC h=.
+ Packages =p=
+ Variables =v=
+ Functions =f=

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(dotfiles/leader
  "h" '(:ignore t :which-key "Help")
  "hp" '(describe-package :which-key "Package")
  "hv" '(describe-variable :which-key "Variable")
  "hf" '(describe-function :which-key "Function"))
#+end_src

*** Files

Emacs' can feel more modern when icon-fonts are installed and prioritized. I feel that this makes navigation of folders much faster, given that file types may be quickly identified by their corresponding icons.

https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el
+ Collects various icon fonts

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package all-the-icons)
#+end_src
  
https://github.com/jtbm37/all-the-icons-dired
+ Integration with dired

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package all-the-icons-dired
  :hook (dired-mode . all-the-icons-dired-mode))
#+end_src

When opening =dired=, I don't want to have to press =RET= twice to navigate to the current directory. This can be avoided with ~dired-jump~, included in the =dired-x= package shipped with =dired=.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(require 'dired-x)
#+end_src

By default =dired= will create a new buffer everytime you press =RET= over a directory. In my workflow this leads to many unwanted =dired= buffers that have to be cleaned up manually. [[https://github.com/crocket/dired-single][Dired-single]] lets us reuse the same dired buffer.

+ Move up a directory with =h=
+ Open a single buffer with =l=

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package dired-single
  :config (evil-collection-define-key 'normal 'dired-mode-map
            "h" 'dired-single-up-directory
            "l" 'dired-single-buffer))
#+end_src

Open a dired buffer with =SPC d=.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(dotfiles/leader
  "d" '(dired-jump :which-key "Dired"))
#+end_src

*** Shell

While not a traditional terminal emulator, =eshell= provides me with all of the functionality I expect and require from one. Some users may be left wanting more, I would recommend they look into =vterm=.

https://github.com/zwild/eshell-prompt-extras
+ Enable lambda shell prompt

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package eshell-prompt-extras
  :custom (eshell-highlight-prompt nil)
	        (eshell-prompt-function 'epe-theme-lambda))
#+end_src

Open an =eshell= buffer with =SPC e=.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(dotfiles/leader
  "e" '(eshell :which-key "Shell"))
#+end_src

*** Source

Another hallmark feature is [[https://github.com/magit/magit][Magit]], a complete git porcelain within Emacs.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package magit
  :custom (magit-display-buffer-function
           #'magit-display-buffer-same-window-except-diff-v1))
#+end_src

Work directly with github issues / pull requests using [[https://github.com/magit/forge][Forge]].
+ Requires a valid ~$GITHUB_TOKEN~

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package forge
  :after magit)
#+end_src

Open the *status* page for the current repository with =SPC g=.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(dotfiles/leader
  "g" '(magit-status :which-key "Magit"))
#+end_src

*** Windows

Window management with =SPC w=.
+ Swap with =w=
+ Close with =c=
+ Motions with =h,j,k,l=
+ Split with =s + <MOTION>=

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(dotfiles/leader
  "w" '(:ignore t :which-key "Window")
  "ww" '(window-swap-states :which-key "Swap")
  "wc" '(delete-window :which-key "Close")
  "wh" '(windmove-left :which-key "Left")
  "wj" '(windmove-down :which-key "Down")
  "wk" '(windmove-up :which-key "Up")
  "wl" '(windmove-right :which-key "Right")
  "ws" '(:ignore t :which-key "Split")
  "wsj" '(split-window-below :which-key "Down")
  "wsl" '(split-window-right :which-key "Right"))
#+end_src

*** Shortcuts

Implement a few shortcut bindings, cherry picked from Doom emacs.

+ Close buffers with =SPC c=
+ Find files with =SPC . (period)=

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(dotfiles/leader
  "." '(find-file :which-key "Files")
  "c" '(kill-buffer-and-window :which-key "Close"))
#+end_src

Quit emacs with =SPC q=.
+ Saving =q=
+ Without =w=
+ Frame (daemon) =f=

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(dotfiles/leader
  "q" '(:ignore t :which-key "Quit")
  "qq" '(save-buffers-kill-emacs :which-key "Save")
  "qw" '(kill-emacs :which-key "Now")
  "qf" '(delete-frame :which-key "Frame"))
#+end_src

Place runtime tweaks behind =SPC t=.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(dotfiles/leader
  "t" '(:ignore t :which-key "Tweaks"))
#+end_src

** Desktop
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args: :tangle modules/desktop.el :results silent
:END:

I use Emacs as a Desktop Environment with the [[https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm][exwm]] package. It allows Emacs to function as a complete tiling window manager for =X11=. My workflow includes launching the window manager with =xinitrc=, without the use of a display manager, controlling *everything* within Emacs.

#+begin_src conf :tangle config/xinitrc
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session emacs -mm --debug-init
#+end_src

*** Email

Plain text email delivered via mu, mu4e and mbsync. I run my own email server, so your configuration may differ from mine. This is the ~mbsyncrc~ file I use to synchronize my local mail with my server. This is required for mu4e in Emacs.

#+begin_src conf :tangle config/mbsyncrc
IMAPStore xyz-remote
Host mail.chrishayward.xyz
User chris@chrishayward.xyz
PassCmd "pass chrishayward.xyz/chris"
SSLType IMAPS

MaildirStore xyz-local
Path ~/.cache/mail/
Inbox ~/.cache/mail/inbox
SubFolders Verbatim

Channel xyz
Master :xyz-remote:
Slave :xyz-local:
Patterns * !Archives
Create Both
Expunge Both
SyncState *
#+end_src

The system typically expects to find this file at ~$HOME/.mbsyncrc~, but you may also specify a custom path if launching the command using arguments. I chose to symlink the default location to my repository.

#+begin_src shell :tangle no
mbsync -a
mu index --maildir="~/.cache/mail"
#+end_src

Once the mail is being synchronized, and the mail has been indexed with =mu=, it's time to install the required packages for Emacs.

+ Update every 5 minutes
+ Scale text for all devices
+ Sign outbound mail with GPG key
+ Configure mail account(s)

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package mu4e
  :load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/mu4e"
  :custom (mu4e-maildir "~/.cache/mail")
          (mu4e-update-interval (* 5 60))
          (mu4e-get-mail-command "mbsync -a")
          (mu4e-compose-format-flowed t)
          (mu4e-change-filenames-when-moving t)
          (message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)  
          (mml-secure-openpgp-signers '("37AB1CB72B741E478CA026D43025DCBD46F81C0F"))
          (mu4e-compose-signature (concat "Chris Hayward\n"
                                          "https://chrishayward.xyz\n"))
  :config
  (add-hook 'message-send-hook 'mml-secure-message-sign-pgpmime)
  (setq mu4e-contexts
    (list
      ;; Main
      ;; chris@chrishayward.xyz
      (make-mu4e-context
        :name "Main"
        :match-func
          (lambda (msg)
            (when msg 
              (string-prefix-p "/Main" (mu4e-message-field msg :maildir))))
        :vars
          '((user-full-name . "Christopher James Hayward")
            (user-mail-address . "chris@chrishayward.xyz")
            (smtpmail-smtp-server . "mail.chrishayward.xyz")
            (smtpmail-smtp-service . 587)
            (smtpmail-stream-type . starttls))))))
#+end_src

Use [[https://github.com/iqbalansari/mu4e-alert][mu4e-alert]] to give us desktop notifications about incoming mail.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package mu4e-alert
  :after mu4e
  :custom (mu4e-alert-set-default-style 'libnotify)
  :config (mu4e-alert-enable-notifications)
          (mu4e-alert-enable-mode-line-display))
#+end_src

Create a keybinding to open the mail dashboard with =SPC m=.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(dotfiles/leader
  "m" '(mu4e :which-key "Mail"))
#+end_src

*** Browser

Write out the ~$BROWSER~ environment variable.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setenv "BROWSER" dotfiles/browser)
#+end_src

Launch a browser with =SPC b=.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; (dotfiles/leader
;;   "b" '(dotfiles/run-in-background dotfiles/browser :which-key "Browser"))
#+end_src

*** Startup

When launching into a session, if the display server is not running then =startx= should be invoked, to run the window manager.

#+begin_src sh :tangle config/profile
if [ -z "${DISPLAY}" ] && [ "${XDG_VTNR}" -eq 1 ]; then
    exec startx
fi
#+end_src

*** Methods

Define a method to run an external process, allowing us to launch any application on a new process without interferring with Emacs.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun dotfiles/run (command)
  "Run an external process."
  (interactive (list (read-shell-command "λ ")))
  (start-process-shell-command command nil command))
#+end_src

Some methods must be called and applied to the current call process in order to function correctly with Emacs hooks.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun dotfiles/run-in-background (command)
  (let ((command-parts (split-string command "[ ]+")))
    (apply #'call-process `(,(car command-parts) nil 0 nil ,@(cdr command-parts)))))
#+end_src

Place keybindings for executing shell commands behind =SPC x=.

+ Run shell commands with =x=
+ Run async shell commands with =z=

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(dotfiles/leader
  "x" '(:ignore t :which-key "Run")
  "xx" '(dotfiles/run :which-key "Run")
  "xz" '(async-shell-command :which-key "Async"))
#+end_src

*** Displays

When the window manager first launches the ~init-hook~ will be called, this allows us to define some custom logic when it's initialized.

+ Display time and date
+ Display battery info (if available)

In my personal configuration, I do not want the battery or time displayed within Emacs when it's not running as desktop environment because that information is typically already available.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun dotfiles/init-hook ()
  (exwm-workspace-switch-create 1)
  (setq display-time-and-date t)
  (display-battery-mode 1)
  (display-time-mode 1))
#+end_src

Using =autorandr= with pre configured profiles, switching screens (AKA hot plugging) is also handled through a hook.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun dotfiles/update-display ()
  (dotfiles/run-in-background "autorandr --change --force"))
#+end_src

*** Configuration

 Connect our custom hooks and configure the input keys, a custom layer for defining which keys are captured by Emacs, and which are passed through to =X= applications.

+ Enable =randr= support
+ Pass through to Emacs
  + =M-x= to Emacs
  + =C-g= to Emacs
  + =C-SPC= to Emacs
+ Bindings with =S= (Super / Win)
  + Reset =S-r=
  + Launch =S-&=
  + Workspace =S-[1..9]=

** Projects
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args: :tangle modules/projects.el :results silent
:END:

An IDE like experience (or better) can be achieved in Emacs using two *Microsoft* open source initiatives. Turn Emacs into an *IDE* (or better) with the [[https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/][Language Server Protocol]], an open source initiative from *Microsoft* for the *VSCode* editor. [[https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/][lsp-mode]] brings support for language servers into Emacs.
  
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package lsp-mode
  :commands (lsp lsp-deferred)
  :custom (lsp-idle-delay 0.500))
#+end_src

[[https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-ui/][lsp-ui]] provides UI improvements for =lsp-mode=.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package lsp-ui
  :after lsp
  :custom (lsp-ui-doc-position 'at-point)
          (lsp-ui-doc-delay 0.500))
#+end_src

*** Containers

Use ~docker~ for running containers. Download and install https://github.com/Silex/docker.el, allowing us to manage containers within Emacs.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package docker
  :commands (docker))
#+end_src

Open the management screen with =SPC k=.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(dotfiles/leader
  "k" '(docker :which-key "Docker"))
#+end_src

*** Management

Configure [[https://projectile.mx][projectile]], a project interaction library for Emacs. It provides a nice set of features for operating on a project level without introducing external dependencies.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package projectile
  :custom (projectile-project-search-path '("~/.local/source"))
  :config (projectile-mode))
#+end_src

*** Passwords

Pass makes managing passwords extremely easy, encrypring them in a file structure and providing easy commands for generating, modify, and copying passwords. =password-store.el= provides a wrapper for the functionality within Emacs.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package password-store
  :custom (password-store-dir dotfiles/passwords))
#+end_src

Configure keybindings behind =SPC p=.
+ Copy with =p=

  :custom (company-backend 'company-lsp))
#+end_src

*** Languages

Support for individual languages are implemented here.

**** Go
  
Install the =gopls= language server.

#+begin_src sh :tangle no
GO111MODULE=on go get golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest
#+end_src

Set the ~GOPATH~ environment variable prior to loading, this allows us to change the default value of ~$HOME/go~ to ~$HOME/.go~.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setenv "GOPATH" (concat (getenv "HOME") "/.go/"))
#+end_src

Additionally, include the =bin= subdirectory of the ~$GOPATH~ in the ~$PATH~ variable, adding compiled golang programs.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setenv "PATH" (concat (getenv "GOPATH") "bin:" (getenv "PATH")))
#+end_src

Finally we can include the =go-mode= package, integrating it with =lsp=.
