A holistic Emacs configuration system

fi-emacs

fi-emacs is a collection of several packages that aim to provide the user with a holistic way of managing their GNU Emacs configuration.

Components

• fi.el :: Various utilities for fi-emacs
• sd.el :: Unit system for fi-emacs
• bk.el :: Block-style init management based on sd.el

Documentation

sd.el (unit system)

This package provides an unit system partly inspired by systemd.

The unit system provides the following unique features:

• Reliable error backtraces
• Simulated asynchronous loading

Please consult the individual elisp docstrings for documentation.

sd-display.el (startup display)

This package provides a visual display of all defined sd-units. It can be accessed by executing the sd-display-tabulated command.

bk.el (configuration management)

This package provides an use-package replacement based on sd.el.

Please consult the individual elisp docstrings for documentation.

Meta

Currently fi-emacs is in constant flux and pretty much only used by me, making good documentation both hard and a relatively low priority. Please consult the elisp docstrings for documentation or come back later.

fi-emacs's Issues

Clarification of use-case

I just stumbled upon this project, and I would like to understand better how this system would be employed in practice and what its advantages are compared to more traditional approaches. I currently have a modularized configuration that is byte-compiled and built with eldev, and use straight.el along with use-package to manage my packages. If it's not too difficult to explain, how would a system based around fi-emacs compare to the sort of system I use?
