syl20bnr 584392bd92 [core] Fix layer dependencies based on layer variables
There was a edge case with the declaration of the `lsp` layer in `layers.el`
files.
The `hy` layer depends on the `python` layer which in turn depends on the `lsp`
layer if and only if the `python-backend` layer variable is set to `lsp`.
When the `hy` layer was declared first then it declares the `python` layer
without its layer variables, thus the `lsp` layer was not declared because the
`python-backend` variable was not set.

The fix is to gather all the layer dependencies and resolve them only after all
the used layers have been declared.

* new function `configuration-layer/declare-layer-dependencies`
* replace all calls to `configuration-layer/declare-layer` by the new function
  except for distribution layers (we declare layer dependencies right away in
  distribution layers)

GitHub layer

/TakeV/spacemacs/media/commit/84dd79fe78827a9da279569746f3bcab6d7d7853/layers/+source-control/github/img/github.png

Description

This layers adds support for GitHub.

Features:

  • forge: integration with various forges, such as GitHub and GitLab.
  • gist.el: full-featured mode to browse and post GitHub gists.
  • git-link: quickly generate URLs for commits or files.
  • github-clone allows for easy cloning and forking of repositories.

Install

Layer

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add github to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

Git configuration

You will need to generate a personal access token on GitHub. This token should have the gist and repo permissions. Once this token is created, it needs to be added to your ~/.gitconfig

You will also need to generate an SSH key and add it to your GitHub account.

  git config --global github.oauth-token <token>

Forge

The forge package uses emacsql which requires a C compiler to be available on MS Windows, see issue https://github.com/skeeto/emacsql/issues/46.

For this reason the forge package is not installed on MS Windows by default. If you still want to install it (which means you do have a C compiler available in your PATH) then use the dotspacemacs-additional-packages variable in your dotfile:

  (dotspacemacs-additional-packages '((forge :toggle t)))
