The Complete Computer

org-roam repository on GitHub. Org Roam is Roam Research in org-mode maybe. a Knowledge Management Tool for Emacs org-mode in nonlinear Zettelkasten fashion. It is for now the root of my personal Knowledge Base , the repository which feeds my Arcology , where I develop thoughts and make plans, and where the CCE is developed. It is configured quite simply, with a keymap exposed to me on <SPC>r via Evil Leader. One of these days I'll build a cleaner abstraction defining these maps.

Rather than install org-roam with the system wide load-path, on systems with home-manager it's included through MELPA. To build from local checkout: #+ARROYO_HOME_EPKGS: overrides/org-roam.nix which injects this override in to Arroyo Emacs 's package index:

nix source: :tangle ~/arroyo-nix/overrides/org-roam.nix
# org-roam = epkgs.melpaPackages.org-roam.overrideAttrs(old: {
#   src = /home/rrix/Code/org-roam;
# });

I unconditionally need sqlite3 installed in my home-manager :

nix source: :tangle ~/arroyo-nix/hm/org-roam.nix
{pkgs, ...}:
{
  home.packages = [ pkgs.sqlite ];
}

My org-roam configuration is basically pedestrian, I can hit <SPC>r to get to the org-roam-prefix-map keymap below which includes all the sort of functions I would want to perform on a node or to browse to a new one. Pressing M-. in insert mode will allow me to quickly link to any roam node.

I have a lot of work still to expand upon this, but for now I just use the defaults. These are not included in my configuration:

emacs-lisp source: :tangle no
(setq org-roam-capture-templates '())

(add-to-list 'org-roam-capture-templates
             '("d" "default" plain #'org-roam--capture-get-point
               "%?"
               :file-name "${slug}"
               :head "#+TITLE: ${title}\n"
               :unnarrowed t))
