Customizing/Personalizing Prelude

[Michael_Martinez]

Hello,

I would like to know how this looks in regard to personalizing prelude; https://github.com/MichaelMartinez/prelude

Newbies (like myself), don't know elisp so we tend to steal snippets from here and there. Where do we place these snippets and how will they be loaded, will they override other setting? 

Let's say I have installed Evil Mode and a few other packages, Where is the best place to store each package's settings?

I've installed prelude on my main machine and a VM. It is really nice to setup, but I am struggling in customization area. Thank You for doing this project as it has indeed lead me past prelude...

Lets also try some typical use cases...

Lets say I want to lift a yasnippet collection from github. Do I simply git clone the collection into the snippets directory? Do I need to enable it somewhere? 

Themes, I found a big collection of themes... and I want to get them into the theme dir. 

How do I access or ensure what I've installed are on the load path from prelude? What directories take priority?

Portability from machine to machine:

What use case did you have in mind here?

As I said earlier, I loaded prelude onto my main machine and a vm. I had to manually install the packages listed in the personal section of my prelude fork each time.

Is there a cleaner way to do this? It doesn't seem very DRY to replicate the functionality of prelude-packages.el in my personal directory to ensure the packages I want are installed, no?

Is there a good way to enable portability for prelude without breaking future improvements/changes? 

Again, thank you for this project and I hope that I am not complaining... I am trying to wrap my head around emacs and prelude at the same time.
