Package Source

Here I have used multiple package sources like melpa, elpa and org.

• Elpa is the default package archive of emacs.
• Melpa gives us wide range of useful as well as notorious packages which we can use to customise emacs.

Setting Custom Font

 (set-face-attribute 'default nil
			 :family "FantasqueSansMono Nerd Font Mono"
			 :height 110
			 :weight 'normal
			 :width 'normal)

You can use any font of your choice using above source code in your init.el. Here I have used FantasqueSansMono Nerd Font Mono, it’s pretty cool, give it a go. Install it from here

Doom Theme

Here I have used doom-theme as it is one the best and also it gives wide variety of inbuilt themes that one can use.I have used doom-gruvbox as my current theme, but there are various themes available in doom-theme which you can use just by editing 57th line.

(load-theme 'your-choice-of-theme t)

Replace your-choice-of-theme by any of themes from here.
Also, I have used doom-theme based visible-bell which highlights the modeline for any kind of warning instead of higlighting the entire boundary of screen which is the default behaviour of visible-bell provided by GNU Emacs.

Doom Modeline

If your reading this, then I can assume that you know what modeline is, it is the bottom line in emacs where one can see various things (like directory, language, mode, git branch, line number etc.. ) depending what modeline they are using, here I’m using doom-modeline which is pretty good.
Put this into your init.el

(use-package doom-modeline
  :ensure
  :init(doom-modeline-mode 1))

You can find more about doom-modeline here

Line number

Line number is pretty important as by default line numbers are not visible in emacs. So to enable this, put this piece of code into your init.el

(column-number-mode)
(global-display-line-numbers-mode t)

This will enable line number as well as column number(you can see column number in modeline.)
If you want to go to a specific line then just press M-g M-g and type the line number.

Ivy

Ivy is an interactive interface for completion in Emacs. It gives you suggestion in the minibuffer which you can select. There is Swiper which is pretty good. It replaces the in-built emacs I-search. You can find more about ivy here

Counsel

Counsel enhances the ivy-mode and give a different and fast way for movement in the directories, providing versions of common Emacs commands that are customised to make the best use of Ivy. For example, counsel-find-file has some additional keybindings. Pressing DEL will move you to the parent directory. Put the below code into your init.el.

(use-package counsel
  :bind (("M-x" . counsel-M-x)
	     ("C-x b" . counsel-ibuffer)
	     ("C-x C-f" . counsel-find-file)
	     ("C-M-l" . counsel-imenu)
	     :map minibuffer-local-map
	     ("C-r" . 'counsel-minibuffer-history))
  :config
  (setq ivy-initial-inputs-alist nil)) 

Rainbow Delimiters

It highlights delimiters such as parentheses, brackets or braces according to their depth. Each successive level is highlighted in a different color.

Which Key

which-key displays the possible keybindings follwing your currently entered incompelete command in a minibuffer. For example, let say you entered C-x, then it wait for 0.5 seconds and then will show all the commands in the minibuffer that follows C-x. You can find more about it from here. You can decide the time delay after which popup will appear.

Helpful

helpful gives a brief description about the command of the function that appears in the minibuffer.

Magit

magit is one of the best package present in emacs. It helps you a lot in maintaining your repositories. Just press C-x g in your repository and it will activate the magit mode. There you will be able to see all the commits, unstaged files, untracked files and all other stuffs. Put this into your init.el

(use-package magit
  :bind ("C-M-;" . magit-status)
  :commands (magit-status magit-get-current-branch)
  :custom
  (magit-display-buffer-function #'magit-display-buffer-same-window-except-diff-v1))

You should go to this website in order to know more about magit. Watch this video, this will give you proper insight on how to use magit.

Forge

forge is a beast of a package. It helps us to create pull request, create issue, commenting on PRs or issues, and many more just from emacs, you don’t have to go github to do all this, you can do all this from emacs itself. How amazing is that. Just press C-x g and then press ’ , it will give commands to create issue, PRs and many more. For example you can press c i to create issue, you can add labels, assignees from emacs itself.
Now comes the hard part, how to make it work. For that follow the below steps:

1. First create .authinfo.gpg file with following content.
   

   machine api.github.com login username^forge password ghub_token  
       

   In this, replace username with your github username and ghub_token with your personal access token. You can create your personal access token by going into Settings->Developer Settings->Personal access token->Generate new token Now in this select the following fields repo, user, read:org(under admin:org tab). Copy the token and replace ghub_token with that.

2. Now add this code into your init.el

   (setq auth-sources '("~/.authinfo.gpg"))
       

   Make sure path of .authinfo.gpg is correct.

3. Now add forge into your init.el

        (use-package forge
   	 :after magit)
