+This is my emacs configuration.
+
+Files:
+ - init.el: Entrypoint. This file loads all other files and has some settings of
+   its own.
+ - essential.el: This file contains the stuff that should be loaded first and
+   that I probably will never change (apart from the theme, maybe). It also
+   contains startup configuration for the package manager.
+ - packages.el: All the packages required by the configuration. They are managed
+   with use-package.
+ - tweaks.el: Mostly just tweaks correcting the (many) horrible defaults of
+   GNU Emacs. Also contains some improvements I doubt I will remove.
+ - custom.el: Contains keybinds and custom functions.
