How do I byte-compile everything in my .emacs.d directory?

Question

I have decided to check out Emacs, and I liked it very much. Now, I\'m using the Emacs Starter Kit, which sort of provides better defaults and some nice customizations to defaul

You can use the --batch flag to recompile from the command line.

To recompile all, do

emacs --batch --eval '(byte-recompile-directory "~/.emacs.d")'

or to recompile a single file as from a Makefile,

emacs --batch --eval '(byte-compile-file "your-elisp-file.el")'
