This commit merge the `CONTRIBUTING.md` and `doc/CONTRIBUTE.org` file
into a new `CONTRIBUTING.org` file. It also refactors the content to be
more organized and make its navigation more goal-oriented.
Github displays a link to the `CONTRIBUTING.*` file when people are
opening new issues or proposing new PRs. This file is important because
it is the entry-point to contributions guidelines for most of the users.
The current setup is non-optimal, even broken, as it adds a level of
indirection, and points to a contributing file that has broken
links (due to the new documentation format). The possible drawback of
the proposed solution is that I'm not sure if it is possible to include
it into the new online documentation as it is not in `doc/` folder.
The other possibility is to keep a small `CONTRIBUTING.md` file, as it
is now, pointing to the new documentation system (once online), but I'm
preferring the proposed solution for the following reasons:
- People that are willing to contribute will probably open Github
first (for forking, creating PR, etc), not the online documentation.
- It has one level of indirection less when people click on the
guidelines guide from a new issue/PR.
- `CONTRIBUTING.*` is by convention a special kind of file on github, so
it's valid reason to break the rule and not having it in the `doc/`
folder.

* Set `neo-vc-integration` to `nil` for much better performance
* Add documentation for the `neo-vc-integration` setting.
* Add documentation for the `neo-theme` setting.
- Default projectile settings are to disable caching when indexing

- On windows we keep the 'native method unless find is found
I found it annoying to have to re-navigate to the *compilation* window
and close it after every time I compile with `SPC p c`.
This patch adds a binding to make closing this window fast and easy.
Also a little bit of clean up.
After the change in 1d340dcc77,
there was some grumbling in gitter that `SPC L` is not as convenient
as `SPC l`. Apparently avy-goto-line is a popular function.
`SPC y` is chosen because it is:
- currently unused (as far as I can tell).
- sort of mnemonic because "avy" has a "y" in it.
- doesn't require SHIFT to type
- is accessible even on non-US keyboards
(there were suggestions such ";" and "\" that are not as accessible
on non-US keyboards)
This change also updates the documentation regarding the change from
ace-jump-mode to avy.
I feel that it is not needed because it makes not a lot of sense to
have it non global since it is a dotfile variable.
Also remove ' from the docstring for consistency.
Add the `lorem-ipsum` package to insert text, and bind it to:
* `xil`: lorem-ipsum-insert-list
* `xip`: lorem-ipsum-insert-paragraphs
* `xis`: lorem-ipsum-insert-sentences
`x` as it's text related, and `l` for `list, `p` for `paragraph` and `s`
for sentences.
`global-linum-mode` is making line numbers appearing in `*spacemacs*`
and `helm` buffers, what is annoying.
This change make the linum `SPC t n` toggle buffer-local, and add a
customization variable in `.spacemacs` to enable line numbers globally.
«Globally» here as to be understood as «in `prog-mode` and `text-mode`».
For buffers, `*` search for the word under the cursor, and `/` ask to
search for an expression. To keep the same mnemonic at project level,
this commit change `SPC /` to ask for an expression to search, and add
`SPC *` to search for the expression under the cursor (in fact the only
difference being the expression pre-filled inside the input field).
Add a spacemacs update button to the spacemacs buffer, and relabel the
package update button to read "Update Packages". This will hopefully
resolve some confusion about updating spacemacs vs. updating the
packages.
I also tweaked the switch-to-version function to make it a little more
verbose to use it for the spacemacs update button.
