How I Write Code, Track Time and Tasks, Take Notes, and Stay Organized in Emacs
- komali2 5y agoI've put together a post that I wish had existed when I started exploring emacs a couple years back. People often talked about how cool magit or org-mode are, but I never really understood why. I'm hoping that this post detailing some of my workflows can help other people see how some of us are using emacs to keep ourselves organized and productive. I've also tried to include installation and configuration instructions where relevant. My blog doesn't have any kind of tracking or ads, by the way. I have a compulsion to blog and doing so feels productive, beyond that I don't question it :P Topics covered: Basic IDE Needs Frame, Window, and Buffer Management Helm, or, Magic Emacs Command Suggestion and Listing Mechanism Finding Files and Text Within Projects Finding and Replacing Text Managing Git Programming a Vanilla HTML, CSS, Javascript Project Programming a Vue, Typescript, SCSS Project Programming a React, Typescript, Styled Components Project Programming a Python Project Tracking Tasks and Time Taking Notes (for class and learning) Journaling Checking Email Reading the News
- dcassett 5y agoThat's an impressive amount of work you put into documenting your workflows. I started reading this morning and returned in the evening expecting some useful comments, but no joy. I see there is another emacs article on the front page so perhaps it was simply bad luck with the timing of the submittal.
- komali2 5y agoHaha oh well, it got some traction on reddit. Maybe I'll resubmit it in a week or two!
