In this stream, we'll continue creating a completely custom Emacs configuration from scratch. This time we'll be adding some packages that improve Emacs' interface to make it more helpful and informative. Check out the configuration from this stream here: https://github.com/daviwil/runemacs/tree/3075158cae210060888001c0d76a58a4178f6a00 My Emacs configuration: https://github.com/daviwil/dotfiles/blob/master/Emacs.org If you enjoy this series, please consider becoming a GitHub Sponsor: https://github.com/sponsors/daviwil Follow me online: - Twitter @daviwil - GitHub @daviwil Intro music: Coriolis Effect by logos feat. stefsax, licensed CC-BY http://ccmixter.org/files/mseq/26296 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IspAZtNTslY

In this video, we'll look at 5 specific improvements we can make to our note taking and project management workflows by taking advantage of the functions and hooks in Org Roam and Org Mode. There's a lot of code in this video that you can take and customize for your own use!

In this video, I'll explain how Emacs' display-buffer function is used to determine which window (or frame!) gets used to display a buffer. This is useful when you want to prevent Emacs from breaking your perfectly-organized window layouts! I'll go through many of the built-in "display action" functions to explain how they work. We'll conclude the video by changing our configuration to prevent popup windows from being created and to cause Org Mode and Help buffers to reuse windows containing other buffers for those modes! Keep an eye out for the next video where we will cover display-buffer-alist and custom display action functions!

In this video, we'll learn how to use Magit's interactive rebase feature to rewrite commit history and clean up a set of messy commits. I'll show how to edit, reorder, combine, and delete commits! We'll also learn what to do when editing commits creates a conflict that must be resolved.
