Seems there are a couple of parts to this: - You need a setup that will work across all of your OS/environments, only loading things when appropriate. This is mostly just taking care with what you use where/when. E.g. I only load my email bits on my laptop. - Keep your configuration in a VCS (e.g. git, perhaps on GitHub) and keep the various clones of the repository in sync with pushes/pulls as appropriate. My config is a personalized version of sjrmannings' .emacs.d[1]. It's a really nice framework on which to hang things. I always smile when a remember why I have files and things that start with `sm`.... straight.el[2], which sjrmannings' config uses, extends use-package a bit and provides a wonderful amount of power for running customized/fixed versions of packages. g.
