Read this as a starting point: 
 
  (info "(emacs) Saving Customizations") 
 
Remember you should keep a custom file because it is sometimes 
used internally.   An Emacs init file is just a normal Emacs Lisp 
file.  There is a way using .org files for fans of org-mode, but 
this is not the standard way.  The standard way is to use a file 
as described here: 
 
  (info "(emacs) Init File")

If you want to use Emacs-Lisp for configuration, you will have to 
learn at least some basics.  Copy-pasting stuff from "the 
internet" is possible (the Emacs Wiki(s) are a good source for 
beginners), but once you encounter a problem, you will need to address it at the
Emacs Lisp level. 
 
Several tools simplify or standardize configuration writing, such 
as `use-package' (probably the most prominent example) . I 
personally avoid using them, so I won't advertise any here.
