** Try Spacemacs without modifying my existing Emacs configuration?
|
||||||
|
Emacs' ability to use any directory as the home for launching it allows us to
|
||||||
|
try out Spacemacs (or any other Emacs configuration we desire) without having to go
|
||||||
|
through the trouble of backing up our =~/.emacs.d= directory and then cloning the new
|
||||||

configuration. This can be achieved easily using the following steps:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
|
||||||
|
mkdir ~/spacemacs

git clone git@github.com:syl20bnr/spacemacs.git ~/spacemacs/.emacs.d
|
||||||
|
HOME=~/spacemacs emacs
|
||||||
|
#+END_SRC
|
||||||

||||||
|
