@ -89,6 +89,20 @@ Like =Emacs=, Spacemacs initialization can also be contained in an =init.el= fil
in a special directory =~/.spacemacs.d=. The contents of the dotfile should be
then copied in the =init.el= file.
The Emacs dotfile or dotdirectory is not replaced but rather
complemented by the Spacemacs dotfile or dotdirectory. During startup,
Emacs still uses =~/.emacs.d/init.el= (or =~/.emacs=) for its
initialization, and variable =user-emacs-directory= will still point
to =~/.emacs.d/=, even if =~/.spacemacs.d= or =~/.spacemacs= are
present. Only now =~/.emacs.d/init.el= is provided by Spacemacs
(e.g. after cloning the Spacemacs git repo into an empty
=~/.emacs.d/=), and your own personnal configurations go into
=~/.spacemacs.d/init.el= (or =~/.spacemacs=).
Have a look into the FAQ for an easy workaround to maintain (your
former) vanilla Emacs and (your new) Spacemacs configurations
side-by-side without the need to rename and backup =~/.emacs.d/=.
