# Introduction
This repository contains the Galactic Emacs distribution. You can
clone it as it comes or simply use whatever part you might need/like.
The look and feel of the Emacs frame is based on the
[atom-one-dark](https://github.com/jonathanchu/atom-one-dark-theme)
theme with some minor changes.

# Installation
## GNU/Emacs installation
This configuration is mainly tested on the HEAD version of Emacs
(currently 30.x) running on macOS. If your're using brew, as a package
manager on macOS, please install Emacs with the below command:

``` bash
brew tap daviderestivo/emacs-head
brew install emacs-head@30 --with-cocoa --with-no-frame-refocus --with-imagemagick --with-pdumper --with-xwidgets
```

For Emacs 29.x:

``` bash
brew tap daviderestivo/emacs-head
brew install emacs-head@29 --with-cocoa --with-no-frame-refocus --with-imagemagick --with-pdumper --with-xwidgets
```

For Emacs 28.x:

``` bash
brew tap daviderestivo/emacs-head
brew install emacs-head@28 --with-cocoa --with-no-frame-refocus --with-imagemagick --with-pdumper --with-xwidgets
```

**Important**: in Emacs 28 the signature of the function `define-obsolete-function-alias` changed recently and the installation of some of the packages is currently triggering an error. Please refer to [this issue](https://github.com/daviderestivo/galactic-emacs/issues/26) for more informations.

## Galactic Emacs installation
Please run the below commands to backup your current Emacs
configuration and clone this repo:

``` bash
cd ~
mv .emacs.d .emacs.d.bak
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/daviderestivo/galactic-emacs.git .emacs.d
cd .emacs.d
git submodule init
git submodule update
git submodule foreach --recursive git checkout master
cp personal.el.example personal.el
cp custom-packages-and-settings.el.example custom-packages-and-settings.el
```

Before you start Emacs please edit `~/.emacs.d/personal.el.example`
adding your personal information in it.

## Enable pdumper
If you're running Emacs >= 27 then you can enable pdumper support. In
order to do so, once you have cloned the Galactic Emacs distribution
as detailed in the previous section, start Emacs and issue: `M-x
galactic-emacs-dump-emacs`. Once the pdumper process has completed
you can run the Emacs "pdumped" version using the command:

```
emacs --dump-file="$(echo ~/.emacs.d/.cache/dumps/emacs.pdmp)"
```

You could add a shell alias for your convenience.

# Key bindings
Please have a look to the list of the available [key bindings](https://github.com/daviderestivo/galactic-emacs/blob/master/doc/keybindings.md).

# Included packages
Galactic Emacs distribution comes with many packages already included.
[Here](https://github.com/daviderestivo/galactic-emacs/blob/master/doc/included_packages.md)
you can find the complete list.

# Customization
Please add your custom configuration (additional packages and
settings) into the file `custom-packages-and-settings.el` file.

# About the logo
> The Empire is spread across the Milky Way galaxy and consists of
> almost 25 million planets settled exclusively by humans.
>
> I. Asimov, Galactic Empire

The logo represents the Spaceship and the Sun, emblem of the Galactic
Empire. The three stars on the right part represent Alpha Centauri.
Alpha Centauri is a triple star system, consisting of three stars:
Rigil Kentaurus, Toliman and Proxima Centauri. In Asimov's Foundation
Series, Alpha Centauri is cited by Lord Dorwin as one of the solar
systems where humankind potentially originated.
