Building Emacs from Source (and Configuring dwm while we wait)

The main purpose of this video is to clone the Emacs repository, and build the latest version of Emacs from source. This actually went very smoothly on the fresh Arch install, so I spent some time working on the dwm configuration while waiting for Emacs to download and compile. Now we're ready to start building up an Emacs config in future videos!

I love how minimal you keep your configs. One of your emacs videos inspired me to clean up my cluttered configurations. I was shocked about how much garbage was there. Part of it was because of my lack of experience with emacs when I started using it. The nice thing about your videos is that you modify the configs on the fly while recording, which made it look very easy. Very few things are prone to go wrong when the configs are minimal. Love your videos and please keep posting similar videos.

Thank you very much share your process how to install and configure emacs.
Small tip if you want to spare download time and disk space when you use git:
Use "--depth=1" if you don't need all the commits, but only the most recent commit.
Like "git clone --depth=1 <git-repo>
With the emacs repo it's about 2.5 times faster for the download and you spare ~390 MB of disk space.

Super helpful right now, when pure GTK mode (Wayland!) is hiding away in v29 which still doesn't have an official release, somehow.
