Very neat. Do your maintain this by hand or generate it with something? (Unrelated but computer program is 'program' even in British spelling).

If you enjoy this style of literate documentation, then you might enjoy my personal Emacs configuration too (it is smaller). The following should be placed in ~/.emacs/init.el: https://github.com/skx/dotfiles/blob/master/.emacs.d/init.el That reads and parses the following Markdown file, which contains documentation for humans and indented code-blocks which are executed by Emacs: https://github.com/skx/dotfiles/blob/…

Thanks! I'm probably more interested in just reading the documented .emacs-en of people who've had the good sense to write down what they were doing. Sadly, no amount of clever automation is going to travel back in time and document and explain the half-zillion lines of inscrutable poop I have put in my c-mode config over the years.

I tried to use it in Windows and looked like this: https://imgur.com/a/ete0V

Try this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/opensuse-leap-42/9nj...

Its for OpenSUSE instead of Ubuntu because I like OpenSUSE more especially comparing apt-get syntax to zypper.

zypper refresh actually refreshes the repos and not apt-get update that doesn't update anything

zypper update actually updates the packages and not apt-get upgrade

zypper dist-upgrade moves from one release to the next as opposed to apt full-upgrade because apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't remove programs with a conflict. UGH!!!!!

zypper search actually searches for packages as opposed to apt-cache search

/rant over

WHY did chocolatey go with the debian apt-get syntax :(
