Keeping things tidy

I'd like to keep all of my configuration, and emacs files in one place. I've found the no-littering package does this well. This keeps everything under the .emacs.d directory rather than littering $HOME.

(use-package no-littering
  :ensure t
  :config
  (no-littering-theme-backups)
  (let ((dir (no-littering-expand-var-file-name "lock-files/")))
    (make-directory dir t)
    (setq lock-file-name-transforms `((".*" ,dir t))))
  (setq custom-file (expand-file-name "custom.el" user-emacs-directory)))
