Future Gadgets 42

If you love GNU/Emacs, If you love to program in an editor instead of big slow IDE but still enjoy to have a handy code editor then FG42 is the right choice for you.

If you need help, or even want to just say hello, try our IRC channel on freenode: #5hit.

Dependencies

In order to run FG42 you need GNU Emacs >= 25. FG42 uses several extensions internally which each of the has different external dependencies. To gain more information about external dependencies ( If we failed to tell you inside the FG42 ) just run the describe-extension command.

Installation

In order to install FG42, issue the following commands:

# clonse the FG42 repository in ~/.fg42 directory
$ git clone git://github.com/FG42/FG42.git ~/.fg42/
# You can clone it where ever your want
$ cd ~/.fg42/
$ make install

Since the installer script uses sudo, during the installation process, you'll have to enter your password. Make sure that you're user account has a sudo access.

Enjoy using FG42 ;)

Configuration

After installation there would be a file at ~/.fg42.el which is the user specific configuration of FG42. You can configure your copy of FG42 using this file. Also you can generally use this file to configure Emacs as well.

Documentation

If you're familiar with GNU/Emacs you're not going to have a problem with getting help. But just to clrearify here is a list of keybindings that may guide you during your experience:

I'm a huge fan of Steins Gate anime and I follow its naming convensions on Future Gadgets 42.
