    do you? you can set a different custom file from .emacs just fine and i’ve seen it done before. unless i’m missing something, i believe that’s not it

      I’m far from an Emacs expert. If you say so, I believe you.

      One reason I do it is because I made ~/.emacs.d a git repo.

        I made ~/.emacs.d a git repo.

        ooh, interesting. though i’m a bit squeamish about mixing tracked content and “build artifacts” (in this case, installed packages).
