Emacs users wanting to learn *a different way to edit files* or wanting to learn
Vim key bindings.

Emacs users who want a neatly organized configuration to go along with the
default Emacs keybindings (Yes, Spacemacs can be used without Vim keybindings).

As a side note, if you are a programmer and you don't know Vim key bindings yet,
I deeply recommend you to learn the basics as recommended in [[http://sachachua.com/blog/2013/05/how-to-learn-emacs-a-hand-drawn-one-pager-for-beginners/][Sacha Chua's
one-page guide]] about how to learn Emacs.

* Update and Rollback
For now it is still needed to update the =Spacemacs= repository manually.

** Update Spacemacs repository
Close Emacs and update the git repository:
Spacemacs will automatically check for a new version every startup. When it
detects that a new version is available a arrow will appear in the modeline.
Click it to update Spacemacs. You must restart Emacs after updating.

*Note*: If you use the =develop= branch of Spacemacs, you must update manually.

To update manually close Emacs and update the git repository:

#+begin_src sh
$ git pull --rebase
