I am new to emacs(spacemacs), and I follow this article to learn spacemacs.

Once you are done editing, save the file and either press C-c C-c in the file to reload it or just restart Spacemacs.

But after I save the .spacemacs and then press C-c C-c, the powerline told me C-c C-c is undefined.

How can I reload .spacemacs file after editing without restart emacs?

I found the solution: SPC f e R

It is from "Dotfile Configuration" in the Spacemacs Docs.

Somehow this doesn't seem to work (I knew the keyboard shortcut already, but it is not working for me) e.g. I have "dotspacemacs-line-numbers t" in dotspacemacs/init But "SPC f e R" does not reflect the change. Quitting and starting spacemacs works.
fyi I personally used (global-linum-mode) and (linum-relative-toggle) in my dotspacemacs/user-config to enable (relative) line numbers. (Just add them like that in the user-config block and reload)
For those in emacs mode, you can use M-m f e R
That actually works well for me--maybe it works on recent version of spacemacs?
This does not seem to work if emacs is running in daemon mode.

SPC f e R doesn't work for me so I personally use SPC q R. It completely restarts spacemacs though - but if you maintain sessions (dotspacemacs-auto-resume-layouts t) in config), spacemacs will restart with same buffers. Hope it'll help someone.

dotspacemacs-auto-resume-layouts is a config option which can be found in setq-default section of your .spacemacs file. It comes with default spacemacs setup, it's default value is nil.

Which section/function do you put (dotspacemacs-auto-resume-layouts t) into?

For those who work in emacs mode, it might be little difficult to get this done with keybindings. In such case, do M-X then type dotspacemacs/sync-configuration-layers

SPC q r or (restart-emacs-resume-layouts) will restart emacs whilst preserving the layout.

Another way to do this is press space twice (SPC SPC) which brings you into the emacs command mode.

Then type: sync-config and press Enter which will execute the dotspacemacs/sync-configuration-layers command and reload your config.
