#+PROPERTY: header-args:emacs-lisp :tangle ./tangled.el

Welcome to tangling elisp out of org files! I swear it's easier than it sounds.

Save this as an org file in your .emacs.d directory, put point in the first block, and use =C-c C-c= to evaluate it.

Then you can put your entire init.el in the second code block, and saving this file should create a new file, =tangled.el= with the provided code and your current config. Now break your config up into blocks and sort them with org headlines and text descriptions!

Make sure you test that the generated file can be evaluated (=M-x eval-buffer=) and then change the output target in the PROPERTY line at the top to be =./init.el=.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp

  (org-babel-do-load-languages
   'org-babel-load-languages '((emacs-lisp . t))) ;; have babel highlight elisp

  (setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)           ;; C-c C-c to evaluate code blocks without requesting confirmation

  ;; string expander for code blocks
  (require 'org-tempo)

  ;; Type <el TAB to automatically insert an elisp code block
  ;; it will look like "#+begin_src emacs-lisp" and "#+end_src"
  (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist '("el" . "src emacs-lisp"))

  (defun my/org-babel-tangle-config ()
  "When saving the org file, automatically tangle it into an elisp file without prompting for confirmation."
    (when (string-equal (buffer-file-name)
                        (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/config.org")) ; Change this to be whatever you name your org file
      (let ((org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil))
        (org-babel-tangle))))

You can put your current configuration in here:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp

  ;; Right here!
