I have emacs on two separate platforms, and I would like it to function in much the same way on both, but there is some platform-dependent configuration as well. I have created a git repository in my .doom.d directory (where the doom configuration files are stored). I could have two branches, one for each platform, but then I end up re-implementing much of my config. I found this: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/200068/applying-commits-into-another-branch-without-merging. I would like to know if there is a better way (I am pretty new to git), preferably simpler. Is there something like a C preprocessor directive I could use where certain portions of my config are ommitted before they are evaluated based on the platform I am on? Is there something else that I don't know about? Any help is appreciated.
There are lots of ways to do this. One way is to put system dependent stuff in a file machine.el where "machine" is what (system-name) outputs. I then put
(require (intern (system-name)) nil 'noerror)
in my init.el and keep everything in the same GitHub repo.

This does not seem to work. I tried putting that in
$DOOMDIR/init.el(runningdoom build && doom sync) as well as$DOOMDIR/config.eland neither seemed to work. Currently, the only thing I have in my$DOOMDIR/machine.el(wheremachineis replaced by the output of(system-name)) is(setq org-directory "~/../../org/") (setq doom-variable-pitch-font (font-spec :family "Times New Roman" :size 12))and when I doC-h v org-directoryorC-h v doom-variable-pitch-fontit says the value is nil. Am I doing something wrong. – Aronurr64 Sep 14 '20 at 22:34 -

I moved
machine.eland added its location toload-path. It works now. – Aronurr64 Sep 15 '20 at 14:45
