…resh-buffer; need to figure out how to make it go away automatically when Emacs calls it back but now there's a way to get it to go away again manually.

I'm still working on using
magiteffectively, but I have works in progress that may be of interest.This adds two parameters,
dashboard-always-startanddashboard-hide-modeline, todashboard-setup-startup-hook.If
dashboard-always-startis enabled then the dashboard buffer will be created even when Emacs is called on a file from the command line, but Emacs will immediately switch to the file's buffer after initializing the dashboard without further input from the user. I'm not the most familiar with how Emacs names its buffers, so it's possible a certain configuration could break this. The current method chops thecommand-line-argslist down to just the filename and attempts to switch to the buffer with that name. It makes it more IDE like, for those who would want that. Failed tests are due to the length of the line.If
dashboard-hide-modelineis enabled then the modeline will disappear from the dashboard but not other buffers. It results in a cleaner look overall, but unfortunately only temporarily. Occasionally Emacs does something to put it back, for example starting treemacs or asking the user to accept local variables in elisp files. I'm still looking at how to make it hide the modeline again automatically. One interesting thing is that hiccups that bring the modeline back for the dashboard don't seem to do the same for treemacs.
