This folder is for emacs initialization. Setting up emacs with same settings each time after a format is painful. I found an amazing idea on internet, here: http://www.jimmenard.com/emacs_tips.html#my-dot-emacs

The idea is simple.

• Have seperate dot_emacs.el file for each machine you are using and link to your ~/.emacs.el init file to machine_name/dot_emacs.el file after a clean installation of emacs,
• By this way, first before.el file, then emacs.el file (which is in this folder not in ~/ folder.) and then after.el file will be loaded.

###Linux### First, link your ~/.emacs file to here/machinename/dot_emacs.el file:

$ ln -s ~/Desktop/elisp/machines/tantuni/dot_emacs.el ~/.emacs

###Windows### Just copy here/machinename/dot_emacs.el file to ~/.emacs.el: here/machinename/dot_emacs.el ---> C:\Users\kkk\AppData\Roaming\\.emacs.el

Here the file ~/Desktop/elisp/machines/tantuni/dot_emacs.el contains something like:

  ;; -*- emacs-lisp -*-
  (defvar *my-emacs-lib-dir* "~/Desktop/elisp/")
  (load-file (concat *my-emacs-lib-dir* "bootstrap-init.el"))
  (bootstrap-init "machines" "tantuni")
