Re: [O] Begginer using orgmode
Probably just the wording scaring you a bit. Git is simply a protocol for sharing code. Those who are programming org-mode can work together on all of the little files that make org-mode work. These files live on a server, and those of use who use org-mode pull (or clone) from that server. In this way, you can keep your version up to date with what the coders are doing. You don't have to have anything running. There's a server that keeps all of the org-mode program living on it. We, the users, use git (a small program) to interact with that server and download a fresh copy. Git is smart, though, and after the first long download, every time you run it afterwards, it only pulls down files that have changed so that it's much faster afterwards. Sound good? John Ok I did the earlier steps, making the directory .elisp, cd .elisp and then typed out the command starting with git and it said command not found after; this after finding that git osx.dmg from your earlier message. Have I missed a step or need to further change anything before I make the directory? -Travis PGP.sig Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: [O] Begginer using orgmode
To confirm, I run this command from within the .elisp folder? and then I can open Aquamacs and use orgmode? On 26 Apr, 2011, at 11:49 AM, John Hendy wrote: /usr/local/git/bin/git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git org.git PGP.sig Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: [O] Begginer using orgmode
instead of what I put above. It will run for a fairly long time and might not give you feedback, so just leave it be until it gives you a fresh command prompt and stops sitting at cloning into... or whatever the message is. After that you can should be ready to set up the .emacs file and give it a whirl. Ok, I am looking at the .emacs file in a previosu message, and am slightly confused as to this: line here ;; set load dirs and global config options ;; assumes .elisp directory is in: ;; linux: /home/username/.elisp ;; OX X: /Users/username/.elisp (add-to-list 'load-path ~/.elisp/org.git/contrib/lisp/) (add-to-list 'load-path ~/.elisp/org.git/lisp/) Do I uncomment the OS X line and replace /Users/username with my own? so it would read: OS X: /Users/Tmoney/.elisp ?

Is there a difference between the two? Or personal prefrence? -Travis On 25 Apr, 2011, at 6:23 PM, Urs Rau (UK) wrote: http://aquamacs.org/ PGP.sig Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Dead simple, no confusion about being up to date, etc. http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#keeping-current-with-Org-mode-development Ok, looking through that, it seems slightly more complicated then I am currently comfortable with, does this require me to have some sort of server running, or is it a client-server thing, with my mac as the client getting whatever it needs from the repository? Apperently I the other .emacs file someone posted does not work for whatever reason with the defualt emacs in Mac OS X, it lost all formatting, stars, TODO's etc. Am playing around in Aquaemacs for now and the org buttons, are rather nice I admit. -Travis PGP.sig Description: This is a digitally signed message part
[O] Begginer using orgmode
Hi all after much googling and searching I came across org mode while trying to find a system for my mac on which I could take notes for my school classes. I've read the manual and taken a look at the worg tutorials but seem to keep messing up my .emacs config file, I seemed to have borked the sequence, or work flow of my TODO states, I started with the ones in the example but just took out the next step and added some short cuts, t, s, d and c, but C-t just cycles from TODO -DONE and since I know every little about coding, or lisp I am unsure of what I did wrong. I cannot also seem to find a a way to just get bolded section headings with out the 1.x.x etc etc for my notes, if anything I wonder if there is a way to get list the sections with roman numerals? As the note taking system I have so far enjoyed it and would love to tinker and tweak it for an agenda but am fearful of messing up. Might anyone know of a tutorial for luddites like myself who are just starting out? I am unsure if I even set up my .emacs file correctly: I basically copied and pasted the relevant bits that I thought I needed. Respectfully and thank you for the time, Travis
