Local packages in Spacemacs

One-minute read
spacemacs • elisp • emacs

Are you a hardcore elisp programmer? Add this to your ~/.spacemacs:

dotspacemacs-additional-packages '(
 (treemacs :location
             (recipe :fetcher file
                     :path "~/path/to/treemacs/src/elisp")
           :update nil))

Now you can hack on any emacs package in your live editor!

  • You will need to manually delete the package from ~/.emacs.d/elpa/29.0/develop.
  • The path is supposed to point to the location of *.el files.
  • Heavy lifting is done by quelpa, read their docs!
