+# Emacs Configuration
+
+This is an attempt to learn about Emacs and its ecosystem by creating a custom configuration from scratch.
+
+## Installation
+
+ 1. clone this repository to `~/.emacs.d`
+ 1. call `~/.emacs.d/install-packages.el`
+ 1. start Emacs, press `M-x` and execute the `all-the-icons-install-fonts` command
+
+## TODO
+
+  * (semi-)automatically install missing packages (e.g. with `use-package`?)
+  * surround commnd as in *Spacemacs*
+  * improve completion/navigation when chosing files
+  * find a buffer switcher
+  * hilight trailing whitespace
+  * configure custom (?) menus (with leader key) for things:
+     * toggle features (fci, whitespace-mode, ...)
+  * disable welcome buffer (or put something funnt there)
+
