emacs-config

My personal Emacs configuration. Minimal, fast, and built around the modern built-in stack (use-package, Eglot, Flymake, project.el) plus the Vertico/Consult/Embark/Corfu ecosystem. Evil-first editing, with first-class support for Guile Scheme and Guix.

Highlights

• Completion UI — Vertico + Orderless + Marginalia + Consult + Embark for a fast, composable minibuffer.
• In-buffer completion — Corfu with history and popup info.
• Editing — Evil (with evil-leader, evil-commentary, evil-org), Smartparens in paredit mode, YASnippet.
• LSP & diagnostics — Eglot on demand, Flymake with the flymake-flycheck bridge, Eldoc-box for popup docs.
• Notes — Org-roam with a daily/ journal and Consult integration.
• Languages — Scheme/Guile via Geiser, Go (go-ts-mode, format on save), JavaScript, PlantUML, plus generic tree-sitter.
• Guix-friendly — Picks up emacs-guix, sets the Guile load path for Geiser/Flycheck, and reads a local guix-config.el for system-specific paths (e.g. the PlantUML jar).
• Clean UI — ef-winter theme, no menu/tool/scroll bars, maximized undecorated frame, transparent background toggle, Noto Sans Mono 18.

Requirements

• Emacs 29+ (uses go-ts-mode, built-in use-package, Eglot, etc.)
• git, ripgrep, and fd recommended for Consult
• Optional: Guix, Guile 3.0, PlantUML, a language server for any language you work in

Install

git clone https://github.com/horellana/emacs-config ~/.emacs.d

On first launch Emacs will fetch the packages declared with use-package. If you're not on Guix, the missing guix-config.el load is guarded and will be skipped silently.
