# :private
|
|
|
|
Modules here represent all your personal customizations. I suggest you keep them
|
|
contained here to minimize friction when updating from upstream (if that
|
|
matters to you).
|
|
|
|
I include my private module as a reference. I recommend you don't delete/rename
|
|
it as that could cause merge conflicts.
|
|
|
|
## Loading your private module
|
|
|
|
`:private {user-login-name}` is loaded automatically after all other modules.
|
|
|
|
Keeping it in your init.el is unnecessary, but harmless.
|
|
|
|
`private/{user-login-name}/init.el` is a special file, unique to the private
|
|
module named after your username in `user-login-name`. It is loaded immediately
|
|
after DOOM core is, but before any module is. This gives you an opportunity to
|
|
overwrite variables and settings earlier. I will refer to this as your "private
|
|
init.el".
|
|
|
|
## Reconfiguring packages
|
|
|
|
If your configuration needs are simple, `add-hook!` and `after!` will be
|
|
sufficient to reconfigure packages:
|
|
|
|
```emacs-lisp
|
|
;; private/hlissner/config.el
|
|
|
|
(after! evil
|
|
(setq evil-magic nil))
|
|
|
|
;; Takes a major-mode or a quoted hook function
|
|
(add-hook! python-mode
|
|
(setq python-shell-interpreter "bpython"))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Look into `def-package-hook!` if you need more customizability. It lets you
|
|
disable, add to or overwrite DOOM's `def-package!` blocks. These are powered
|
|
by `use-package`'s inject-hooks under the hood.
|
|
|
|
**They must be used from your private init.el to work.**
|
|
|
|
```emacs-lisp
|
|
;; private/hlissner/init.el
|
|
|
|
;; To disable a package
|
|
(def-package-hook! evil-goggles :disable)
|
|
|
|
;; If a :pre-init / :pre-config hook returns nil, it overwrites that
|
|
;; package's original :init / :config block. Exploit this to overwrite
|
|
;; DOOM's config. Otherwise, make sure they always return non-nil!
|
|
(def-package-hook! doom-themes
|
|
:post-config
|
|
(setq doom-neotree-file-icons t)
|
|
nil)
|
|
|
|
;; Otherwise, you append to a packages config
|
|
(def-package-hook! evil
|
|
:post-init
|
|
(setq evil-magic nil)
|
|
t)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Installing your own packages
|
|
|
|
Your private module is otherwise like any other module. It may possess a
|
|
packages.el file, which -- with the advantage of being loaded last -- may be
|
|
used not only to install your own packages, but overwrite past `package!`
|
|
declarations.
|
|
|
|
```emacs-lisp
|
|
;; prevent a certain package from being installed; pair this with something
|
|
;; like (def-package-hook! evil-goggles :disable) in your private init.el
|
|
(package! evil-goggles :ignore t)
|
|
|
|
;; Tell doom to get evil from somewhere else
|
|
(package! evil :recipe (:fetcher github :repo "hlissner/my-evil-fork"))
|
|
```
