Again a question for beginner. I have a configuration file called shell.el in my .emacs.d folder. When I now run M-x shell the error Autoloading failed to define function shell is thrown. Even if its empty. Can someone explain me how I can use the file to change some behaviours of the shell. E.g. Match the optics to the shell in iTerm.

any idea how can i stash a chunk or a file in magit from the status buffer?

i think its z

but just press ? to show the options

you can put the changes you don't want to stash in the index, then do z -k z

@danielgrosse: avoid naming your configuration files with the same name as actual features. That can shadow the load path.

Call it something like shell-config.el instead

@malabarba: thank you. Just renamed it and it works

And it sounds like you've added your .emacs.d directory to the load path.

Don't do that either, 😉

@dpsutton: @mcgivernsa thx. I mean just stashing a chunk/file not all current changes

what you have for staging with use s on a certain file or chunk

so what I described is like the inverse - it will stash everything but the staging area

ah i see. right. not exactly what i wanted but deffo a solution. ta
